While I was 9 when the film was released, I didn't see it until age 12 or so only because it was one of the only three beta-max movies my best friend owned.
I was like 3 when it came and and like you didn't see it till I was a few years older.
I think its held up remarkably well and I really enjoy watching it now in widescreen after only ever having seen it in 4x3 in my youth.

Where the movie suffers: the story is disjointed and time rushes by. Its timeline is huge for a movie of its length. You don't really get a sense that scene A influences scene B very much in this movie, and it makes you wonder about the motivations of some characters, and how they feel what they feel for each other. The script doesn't do a great job of building relationships between characters.
I haven't seen the movie but the book is exactly this way so that's probably the reason.
