Only people with a British/American mind who never read Onegin in the original version can enjoy this. The movie is made in a British way, things that are being displayed in the film are more suitable for England, not Russia. Not to talk about the awful Russian music. The music is good and pretty well known in Russia, but... this was composed in the middle of the 20th century (some of it was used before as soundtracks to cult Russian films) definitely unsuitable for the time Onegin lived in.
Nevertheless, most of the world would think it's good movie, and it is. But the Russians would find it quite laughable and wrong. Hence this movie isn't REALLY good.
Fiennes and Tyler are casted well.
