So it doesn't sound like this is the worst movie ever. There's just no real way this could be as bad as Catwoman; I think it's fashionable to hate this movie more than it warrants.

If a movie isn't a complete movie, it's pretty terrible. Catwoman was terrible,Elektra was terrible.
The Tim Story films,campy as shite as they were, are more watchable than this.(-and I loathe the Story films)

Well, super hero fatigue is very real, particularly in the critic community which has a tendency to look down on comic books. They finally have a bad to mediocre movie in which to savage the entire genre. You could tell with the Ant-Man reviews, critics were just looking for the chance to write their too many super hero review.
Fantastic Four is finally a film bad enough to justify all of those words a critic has been saving for months, but unable to unleash on what turned out to be pretty good movies.
There's also the element that the "geek community" won't prop up this film, as they are largely rooting for it to fail so the characters revert to Marvel. So it has no "base" to goose the positive review counter.

From the reviews I've read it seems like Trank made a unique and novel take on a superhero movie that for the most part worked as a cool scifi adventure. The problem is instead of making this as an original movie he tried to jam elements of the fantastic four into it so that fox wouldn't lose the rights.
That sucks because no only did we miss out on a cool original new superhero franchise, but fox also further fricked up the FF universe.
If I made a movie called Superman about an Ethiopian immigrant adopted by a Mexican family who is struck by a bolt of lightening and gains powers that he has to use to fight a janitor named Lex Luther who got his powers from a radioactive toilet, people would hate the movie.
If I made the same movie but called it Alien Hero and changed their names, people might not hate it so much.
