Umm.. What the hell was that?

I just finished watching Onegin and oh my god it was painful.
Besides the perfection of Mr.Ralph Fiennes everything seemed wrong.
First off all, as much as I like Liv Tyler and think that she's absolutely beautiful her acting was simply horrible that had a huge impact on the movie itself since it was irritating me a lot. And the movie seemed very short, when I thought the story was just starting ... It ended.. Anyway I'm so disappointed in this movie...
Keep in mind that this is my Subjective opinion so please don't "kill" me..

Painful is definitely the right word. Aside from Ralph Fiennes there was not a single thing I enjoyed about this film. I found the characters loathsome and weak, the romance non-existing. Onegin was clearly a sociopath - first shooting his only friend in the head, then being shocked that he killed him, wtf. What a stupid script.

The script is based on the poem by Puškin, so that's the story...
