Why I don't like Shakespeare (Gasp!)

Okay... Okay... let the shock and horror of someone who doesn't like the bard, or as some people treat him the literary "god" of the English language, the one, the only, Shakespeare, be done and just hear me out on this one please. So now that I have your attention and you may be thinking, "who is this idiot think he is dissing on Shakespeare?" I have read two of his plays, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. A Midsummer Night's Dream is done okay I guess, but Romeo and Juliet... it sucks really, really badly. So to start with Romeo and Juliet what do we know about our star crossed lovers? Well there from families that absolutely hate each other, their young, rich, and naive. Besides that we know that they are head over heels in love for each other! But besides that, what do they have in common? Anyone? Anyone? Do they share any values outside of their love for each other? I could be wrong, but there is nothing else that comes to mind....
