Is Belisarius Overrated?

Been reading about Byzantium lately and I wanted your opinions on Belisarius as a commander. I came across this thread on Reddit and it made some good points that perhaps he might have been overrated a bit. From what I've read I tend to rate Narses a tad higher then him. On the other side however very few people know his career as well Alexander or Caesar so maybe he is underrated. Opinions?

Why is Belisarius so highly revered in military history? Was he really as good as most books claim or is his fame inflated?
