This is crap when watched older.

I first watched Ninja Scroll when I was 14 years old and thought it was amazing. I tried watching it now (I'm 23) and found it to be total crap and boring. I found the action scenes lackluster. I also feel the same about Street Fighter 2 The Animated Movie. I bought Spriggan and found that crap as well. I think I'm too old for anime now, it's something for 12-18 year olds. I wanted to get Cyber City Oedo as it's something I enjoyed as a 12 year old but I'll probably end up hating that as well.

Does anyone else feel the same? Are there any good action animes that can revve my interest?

This is quite an ancient topic! I'm surprised I never posted it in though given my agreement with it. There are some truly great and classic anime films but this one really isn't that. It's not terrible per se, but it's rather underwhelming the older you get. It was a perfect film for teens and young adults back in the 90s when anime's exposure to the west was still limited. But it really just doesn't hold up well and comes off kind of trashy in a way.
