I agree with you. Natalie Dormer and Jonathan Rhys Mayer look not so romantic, as if their love is based on dirty lust.
Cool someone else noticed so and it's great you agreed with me.
Yes their sexual chemistry was great but their Romantic Chemistry not so much and with those two it's the first time I noticed so, but you know what most of my favorite romantic Couples have more sexual than Romantic chemistry.
Maybe with Jonathan and Natalie Dormer was too intense to disguise it as Romantic chemistry.
I never was able to see the difference till I saw the Fault in our starts, at first I thought the actors Shailenne and Ansel doesn't have that much chemistry not compared to the chemistry she had with Theo James in divergent but watching latter more pictures with them( Ansel and Shailenne) I thought yeah they look very cute together and that's when I realized that they had a great romantic chemistry it's just that it wasn't the sexual chemistry she shared with Theo in Divergent.
And with them I realized how most of my favorite Romantic on screen couples are more like my sexiest on screen couples lol its just a that their directors were able to disguise their hot chemistry as Romantic Chemistry.
Which all these made re watch videos from the other Boleyn Girl and this series and that's when I really saw how Portamn and Eric Bana were great together and actually looked more like a romantic Couple.
Here my favorite on screen couples if you are interested

Eric was a better Henry imo, not only did he have the height and body of a king but he carried himself regally. Jonathan just cane off like a spoiled rock star. ND was much better than NP as Anne, she had 2 years to make you fall in love with her and at the same time want to smack her. NP looked more like Anne but Dormer really became Anne. I don't believe Bana and Portman had better romantic chemistry, there was hardly any romance ino. He was chasing a woman he couldnt have and she was scheming and manipulating him to get back at her sister. I honestly never believed Portman's Anne loved Henry nor the other way around.

Well they didn't have the greatest chemistry but it's just when I re watched The other Bolyen girl after along time and watching the Fault in our stars I realized the chemistry between Jonathan and Natalie dormer was too based on lust.
It gree that Natalie Dormer played a better Anne but Portman was fine and could have been great with a better script.

Natalie D. true especially when she was discussing Henry VIII with her brother. It was all strategy and tactics for power not love.

I think Eric and Natalie Portman had the best chemistry, even if they had the worse of the two scripts.
To begin with, Natalie Portman was the perfect Anne for me in regards to looks and personality. She has Anne's beautiful dark goggly eyes, dark hair and olive complexion compared to Dormer's pale skin and blue eyes. She also portrayed her as sophisticated, elegant, intelligent and shrewd, all the things Anne was. We were told of all of Anne's accomplishments in The Tudors but i didn't think we saw much of them to be honest.
Although neither Bana nor Rhys Meyers particularly look like Henry VIII, i think Bana looked a lot more majestic, and he played Henry as being occasionally kind and romantic, not a nympho, ranting psychopath like he was in The Tudors. With Bana, I could see why people called Henry Bluff King Hal.
With Bana and Portman, you could see why they were attracted to each other and that Henry was in love with Anne's boldness and sparkling personality, and it wasn't just blind lust like between Dormer and Rhys Meyers, who couldn't wait to shag each other! There was a definite connection between Bana and Portman, a playful romance and love. Rhys Meyers and Dormer seemed more like partners in crime who slept with each other and only got married because Anne wouldn't let her into her panties.
The only reason why i think Natalie Portman's Anne is so disliked is because of the storyline and script of the movie. Philippa Gregory wrote Anne as an antagonist and so she is not as sympathetic as she is in The Tudors which rubs people up the wrong way. She also made Anne lose her dignity quite a lot, and I think although Portman portrayed Philippa Gregory's version perfectly well, it didn't do justice to the real Anne and this upsets people also.
Unfortunately, people criticise the actors rather than the storyline.

Yeahh because Hollywood actors really love to have sex with any actress. Perhaps a lover on screen that can bring the romantic chemistry but not trying to sucked each other faces?
