Didn't this anime came out 3-4 years ago? I'm a bit surprised how you frame it as, "something I liked when I was younger", when 3-4 years isn't that large of a time period.
Not to say your review isn't legitimate, just a bit curious. I guess it could be like watching the anime when you were in middle school and now you're in high school, or you were a high school freshman and now you're a senior.

Looking back...
Sword Art Online used to be my favorite anime of all time, but, looking back, it's not as good as I remembered. Hey guys I'm Jedipikachu9009 and now I'm reviewing Sword Art Online. Remember to be respectful in the comments and NO SPOILERS.
Looking back to this anime, it's not as good as I thought. The story is unique but not as good as other anime I've been watching. And the characters? Well, let's break it down.
Kirito: He's the main hero, and a really nice guy. But that's all he really is, a nice guy. He was a nice guy at first and continued to be a nice guy throughtout the series. Really, this guy had little character development.
Asuna: The love interest to Kirito. Asuna went through some SERIOUS mood swing throughtout the series. She started as this girl who didn't really know what she was doing, to a really bossy second in command, then became a really nice girl.
Klein: REALLY bland. He's that typical, I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing character.
Yui: Crap, I really want to love this character but she is basically a Navi when it came to Alfheim.
Heathcliff: (SPOILER) I always thought he was a well made villain, but he too was bland. Even when he was dicovered to be a villain. I guess the reason I thought he was a good villain was because he accepted his loss when he lost.
Leafa: Was she really necessary? Did we really need a plot where Kirito's sister fall in love with him? Did I actually cry when she found out Kirito's identity.
Oberon: What I thought was my most hated villain in any anime turned out to be one of the best villains in any anime. He did his job as villain well, having motivation to be evil and being a big obstacle for Kirito.
Yeah, looking back at this anime, it did not perform well. Why did I love this so much? Was it because I was young and stupid or... oh yeah now I remember.
The Action: This was why my young self loved this anime. The action here really brought out the fact that they are in an online world. Each and every fight is epic and has an awesome sound track for it.
Yeah watch this anime for the action, not really for the story, even if crying is a guarentee.
