Not really. He certainly got some things wrong like heavier things falling faster than lighter ones, but he wrote on an enormous variety of topics, from physics, to biology, to literature, to ethics. His knowledge was broader than it was deep. His works summarized and synthesized most of what was known in his time, and was useful for centuries afterwards. The problem with Aristotle isn't so much him as the fact that the Catholic Church decided in the Middle Ages that (even though he lived before Christianity) that he was right about everything and that people who felt otherwise were heretics.
