I was really disappointed with "The Pagan Queen". The storyline had so much potential, but it felt like it was poorly executed. The pacing was slow, and I found it difficult to connect with any of the characters. The dialogue also felt forced and unnatural at times. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations.
2. Mark - 1 star
"The Pagan Queen" was a complete letdown for me. The acting was lackluster, and the cinematography left much to be desired. The costumes and set designs were the only redeeming factors, but even those couldn't save the film from its boring plotline. It felt like a missed opportunity to explore an interesting historical period, and I couldn't wait for it to be over.
