The real surprise to me was shawshank redemption. Even if you don't think it's the best ever I don't see how anybody could despise it.
Andy Dufrene is a douche. Morgan Freeman is too wise and noble. Wise, noble people don't end up in prison. The bad-guy warden is one dimensional. Yeah, prison staff are not the brightest bulbs in the world, but nobody is that stupid to miss out on the hero's escape method all those years.
And I don't like Stephen King in general. He apparently didn't do any research at all on how prisons operate, because there are a number of glaring errors. But he's Stephen King, and a lot of people will read his books and go see movies based on them, no matter how shitty. Good for him, I guess.

I despise movie watchers like yourself. You people have to nitpick everything.

Shocking and depressing.
This is why Jersey Shore has high ratings. Stupid Americans.
Because they don't like all the movies you do? My you are open-minded.

The novella and movie are not documentaries on prison life. They are stories that are set in a prison.
It would not be entertaining to watch Andy do the daily routine of a prisoner. It is entertaining watching him manipulate the system.
Also, I am not a huge fan of this film. I like it, but I can pass it up on when it's on tv.
