Absolutely.
Thirty-odd years ago I adored the books of Robert E. Howard (Conan, Solomon, Kull, Cormac), Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan, Barsoom, Pellucidar), Doc Savage (various authors), and Perry Rhodan (various again).
When I read these again today I find most of them melodramatic, the characters two-dimensional, the pacing somehow wrong, and the vocabulary weak.
