I always knew his ideas were great and his storytelling stank. Even when I found out he wrote every story on speed until he finished and never, ever editted his own work, I figured that was pretty obvious (at least, in retrospect). The books of his that I really liked were never the critical picks and vice versa.
But too many other writers, editors, and critics respected his ideas too much to ever criticize him in print, but, in fact, the best description I have seen is that he was just a brilliant a$$hole as a writer.
OTOH, Blade Runner was a truly classic movie. And it was one of the few classics not to be OBE as decades passed. That credit should go to the director!
As an additional point, look at The Running Man, also a Dick plot, much better than the original storyline, but not to the same level of production.
I have the same exact opinion. "Androids" had some cool ideas but the storytelling was poor. "Roy Baty showed up in the doorway. Deckard shot him. He died."
It took some creative directors to give his vision a wide appeal. Minority Report is another movie.
