Yea, me watching it so many ywars after it came out definitely colored my opinion. Its like that with many "first" movies, from Tron to Metropolis, that the original appeal decreases as the motives and filmmaking techniques arent as new anymore, because of those movies. One would have to watch "generic" movies from that year to really apprechiate the innovative parts which then got replicated over and over.

I try to consume media in the context of the time period it was made, but sometimes it can be difficult to overlook some things.
