I think it's fashionable to hate this movie more than it warrants.
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.

There is some to a degree, but the way I see it-the F4/The Watcher/Doom/Silver Surfer/Future Foundation IP is pretty solid with ripe stories.
Roger Corman made a movie in the 90s to hold onto the rights.
Fox after two failed movies has made another that the studio they had (alledgelly) Matthew Vaughn and Simon Kimberg ghost direct this movie and rumors were abound that they were editing the mess that Trank left(who was hired because Chronicle was made for very few dollars) as late as last week
There probably was no third act in the original cut, or Trank went off the rails with it.
Fox also slashed the budget before the movie started.
This was a rights grab.
The IP, any IP deserves better than a studio just pumping crap to keep it away from another studio.
