I think NP is a pretty good actor, like in Bleak House he was awesome. But I watched Vanity Fair again recently and I just think he's bloody awful as Rawdon Crawley! I mean, this guy is meant to be super handsome, and NP is nowadays, but that moustache just made him look so seedy! What did everyone else think? I much prefer James Purefoy as Rawdon in the new movie, and thats just about the only good thing about it.

I'm the opposite, I thought he looked really good in that miniseries, and with the mustache, he looked more suave and debonair.

Really? Fair enough. I much prefer the miniseries overall to the movie though, theres so much more in it.

I prefer the miniseries although I did like both. In my opinion, NP didn't quite fit the part. The mustache was indeed a big mistake.

I'm the opposite again, I thought the moustache wasn't nice when I first saw it but after a while it led me into looking at his eyes more which are amazing and now I actually prefer it
I think it would put some people off by the sheer size of it and the fact that it was jet black.
I think NP fitted the part really well with regards to his acting. Much better than James Purefoy. More realistic anyway. I didn't like the 04 version.

I loved this series and I think Nat did a nice job with this. I saw better things from him but I wouldn't call it bad.

In the time period, I thought a moustache would have made a man seem more handsome in a "manly" way.

I haven't seen the Little/Parker version of Vanity Fair in years, but I don't remember being put off by him at all (but then I'm a huge fan). On the other hand, I couldn't stand Purefoy as Rawdon (or Witherspoon as Becky).
