Of course it depends on why you hated R&J. That said, while they're different in many ways, they share many of the differences that are likely most salient to a modern audience. So if I had to guess, I'd guess that if you hated R&J you won't care for Hamlet either.
I must admit that when I read Hamlet for the first time, I understood maybe 30% of it. Sometime later I read the annotated version, and enjoyed it a great deal more. Hamlet is full of pop-culture references and off-color jokes that are centuries out of date, and thus inaccessible to the average person, but the annotations help to rectify that.
