Well obviously it depends on who you ask, some people did not like Dark Knight Rises (while others often term much of his work "overrated"). But I would say a good majority (85-90%) like all of Nolan's work. Which is why I would agree the regard he receives is well-earned. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions, but even the biggest Nolan critic should know that most people do respect his work. I would still rate almost all of his movies **** or higher (Insomnia being ***1/2).
I would tend to agree that Dark Knight is somewhat overpraised though in some communities. It's an excellent movie, and perhaps the best comic book movie to date, but I would not call it one of the best movies ever made like some do. I actually think I like Inception more than it, but in large part because Inception was based on an original concept.
