I find him overrated. May be not as overrated as Nolan, but still overrated.

Fincher is the master of logistics. Not only does he understand WHERE to put the camera, he knows WHY he's placing it there. The same is true for the succession of scenes and his Fincher-esque sense of rhythm. After listening to his commentaries, I have a much better appreciation for his command of the actor's performance. It's easy to be seduced by his perfectionist atmospheric aesthetics, but that's secondary to inter-relations and character depth. He does it all. There's a reason he's the epitome of the "professional" director.

Fincher's finally become as great as his reputation. His earlier work, in my opinion, is largely vacuous and often immoral (though I do like The Game). With Zodiac, he matured, and his filmmaking itself moved past his earlier atmospherics. Now a brisk, rat-tat-tat montage dominates his visions, a montage of evidence, occurrences, snippets of time, as he pursues something rather elusive. As pointed out in several wonderful essays, he is fascinated by process, and, strangely, finds humanity in his cataloging. His next work, about the construction of Captain Nemo's Nautilus, seems ideal for his new direction. With three incredible films under his belt (Zodiac, Social Network, Dragon Tattoo), I am finally comfortable in calling him a Great Filmmaker.

What is surprising with him is that he's on a flawless career since now: all of his movies are great. Some less than others (The Game, Alien3) but still really really good.

You're not the only one. I don't like Inception either. It is definitely one of the most overrated films of recent years.

The Social Network was an incredible film. Made me question my membership with Facebook...

Same as Sean, I can`t imagine how will it be "The social network" but he has never disappointed me.
