I think Hardy suffered a lot from the "flip-flop" they did with his heel/face alignment. I feel that can really harm a character as the audience "don't know where they stand" with the character. We went from Matt literally trying to kill his brother to him coming out and saying "Ooops. My bad. I'm a nice guy now though".

The constant change of alignment is something that breaks the suspension of disbelief for me. That one was like a slap in the face to reasoned character progression.

Of course, I may be putting too much stock in that issue, maybe it's just that he got fat.
