Emir Kusturica. His recent films are largely overshadowed by his earlier work, and two first films – Do You Remember Dolly Bell? (Sjecas li se Dolly Bell) and When Father Was Away on Busines (Otac na sluzbenom putu). His last good movie was Arizona Dream (1993). After that, we could say that he just keep on directing relatively poor movies – Crna macka, beli macor (1998), Zivot je cudo (2004), Zavet (2007), and documentary Maradona by Kusturica (2008).
Then I would have to say – Cohen Brothers, Oliver Stone, Michael Bay, Luc Besson, Tim Burton, Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott. All quite overrated.
Ehhm.. After all this is just subjective. Every director has his best work, but most of them are inconsistent. They just keep on making movies despite most of the time they don’t know what they even wanted to point out. Corpse Bride is great movie, but even so I’m getting a feeling that Burton is sometimes bored with himself.
And I would have to agree with you, Coppola & Corsese are definitely overrated (even if I think The Godfather trilogy is just great), but they are just being inconsistent.
And I don’t think no one is nowadays like Antonioni or Bergman, they are maybe the only consistent authors.

What a stupid topic. Bergman was a genius, there’s no doubt about it.
