Overrated directors

[Darth Marcus]

I'm not going to make a list of overrated directors, simply because it's hard for me to think of any overrated directors. In my mind, those directors who have earned praise throughout their career have earned it. Some may have earned it once and have simply fallen by the wayside, and others continue to earn it year after year. You may not feel that their movies are the "best films ever", but it's hard to not see their achievements and their contribution to film to help make it what it is today. I also think a lot of people throw around the term "overrated" not because of anything the director has done, but because of their fanyboy following. I'm not particularly a fan of Terrence Malik films, but it's hard for me to say the man is overrated simply because of the inspiration he has caused in a lot of today's modern filmmakers who churn out new classics.
