No. Actually, I think he is underrated. He's mostly thought of as being good when he makes mobster movies (mean streets, good fellas, casino), but he's made a lot of other types of movies (after hours, age of innocence, cape fear, kundun), in which he also excelled.
And his "second act" of movies, with DiCaprio (aviator, departed, gangs of new York), are just as brilliant as his earlier stuff. He's one of the few directors who I think has been consistent throughout his career. My only fear is that as old age progresses he'll retire.
How many good movies does a guy have to make throughout his career to convince that he's just plain ol' good? Some other directors that I think are plain ol' good are Spielberg, Fincher and Nolan. Sometimes all the raving is correct.
