I wouldn't ever call him great (not that I really know what a 'great' director is). I suppose I'd put him on the same level as someone like Kathryn Bigelow in that he's always interesting, even if I don't necessarily like everything he's done.
As for his retirement, it seems to be in response to what he perceives as an increasingly 'anti-director' stance within Hollywood. He's better placed than most to know but it seems like an odd reason, given the almost unprecedented freedom currently given to directors like Tarantino or PTA.
