Huh? Sacrilege! I am a big fan of Hamlet - it's so full of intrigue and possibility for interpretation that Willy's other plays just don't have. Also, in a side note, in my copy of the first folio, the average length of the plays is about thirty pages. Hamlet weighs in at one-hundred thirty-one pages - easily the longest. This can also be clearly seen in that the entire play, in performance, is four to five hours long.
