Why do many people say they dislike Hamlet?

I somewhat understand why however, I am looking for some deep explanation to as why they feel that way.

Update:

Actually my English Lit professor was the first I know to have ever said this. Then soon after, I heard many of my classmates agree. I for one actually enjoyed Hamlet and love how the play explored the human condition, etc. ( Hamlet the play )

    I've never heard anybody say they dislike Hamlet. I know of many Romeo and Juliet haters but not Hamlet ones. Look at these reviews here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1420.Hamlet

    Nearly (With like, two people being the exception) everybody who reviewed it gave Hamlet five stars.

    I can't imagine why anybody would dislike it.

    Because he thinks a lot without taking action. He had many opportunities but did not take them and then complains. An example is when he say his Uncle and did not take action at that moment and also for when he says "I hear a rat" or something like that and stabs polonius
