I like O because it was one of the more original retellings of Othello which was one of my favorite works of Shakespeare. So I'd say more of the story than the chemistry.
I think there was more chemistry between Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas in Save the Last Dance but that doesn't lessen the work she and Mekhi Phifer did in O.
Not that I'm an actor or anything but I would imagine that when you work with a somewhat newer store [as was the case in Save the Last Dance for example] that there is more freedom to develop a character versus O where in order to stay true to the original work, the room for character development is going to be limited to more subtle things. 8)
