Mary Queen

Thankfully I made it to the end..

The scenery, costumes, and set design were all nicely done.

It dragged in the middle, the main couple didn't really have much chemistry.

Rabbit boy's wide eyed, hurt stare became aggravating.

Pin was insufferable toward the end.
She knew the facts and still questioned why ol' boy couldn't sleep with her or didn't love her.

She started off as a likeable character then was one I wanted to take a long walk off a short cliff.

Yeah, they did her wrong but she beat that dead horse until it came back to life and she could kill it again.
Her tears started to irk me. Especially when she tried to get him to consummate their marriage.

A lot of staring from rabbit eyed boy came across as painful .. like he had gas trapped or something.
I didn't believe the love between the two men, especially when they suddenly had s-e-x.

Too much over the top plotting by the dad, his brother, the other dad, the general...

As for the genera, he was just a cruddy character.
The stepmother needed her mouth rearranged with a good slap.

Even the grandmother was shoddily played.

The only character I liked was the older maid who acted as the go between, delivering notes between the leads.

I started off kind of liking it, but quickly became I was just ready for it to end.

I'm still waiting for the "chemistry" so many fawned over.

Are the positive, high reviews paid for?

The acting was lackluster; there was NO CHEMISTRY (not sure what everyone else is alluding to), Charlie was dorky -not cute or even slightly likable.

Their kisses looked forced, he always had on those big magnifying glasses, nothing romantic or swoon worthy about any of it.

The story was all over the place, the "alpha" aspect seemed to come and go when it wanted.

Jeff, the little brother who could calibrate cars or whatever seemed to have powers that came and went (they all did tbt).

The fighting was ridiculous, the racing looked slow, the cars being used were not even that great of racing cars.

The music was aggravating and seemed too loud in some scenes.
