I should like Lynch, but I don't. Lynch-style movies not involving Lynch are things I enjoy. There's something about his movies that's off-putting (and not in the way they're intended). I think it's the campiness of his films just take me out of them. He goes for dark but it feels too kitsch. They're also slow. A lot of time spent lingering a few too many seconds on one shot. Those seconds add up and make them longer films than they should be.
He's not the worst and I wouldn't even use the term "overrated." I think I just don't like him.
You said it better than me. Im not making a claim against the man's skill, certainly not. In fact i wanted to answer ops question in a different way, a movie i think was successful in its intent but was still the worst experience.
I respect Lynch and hate his work
This is how I feel about John Waters.
