10 Onscreen Couples That Failed To Find Chemistry (2 of 6)

Mary Jane and Peter (Spider-Man, 2002–2007)

Of all the comic book romantic relationships, few are as lovely or compelling as Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson’s. In particular, they are constantly having to overcome obstacles to be together, which makes their bond even stronger. But there was nothing about the Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst pairing that could convince audiences that they were in a relationship full of deep, complicated emotions. With the exception of the scene where they’re kissing while Parker is hanging upside down, there just isn’t much there.

Ron and Hermione (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, 2010)

The irony that Emma Watson and Rupert Grint had no chemistry together in their roles as Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, even as they meshed so well with other characters in the Harry Potter series, was not lost on any of the movie’s fans. Many have pointed out the chemistry that existed between Hermione and Harry during their dance sequence, as well as Ron’s in his interactions with Lavender Brown.
