So. We saw the film. There were four of us. As it has been declared that I am completely unreliable when it comes to rating or reviewing films, I shall give you the opinions of all of us.

C~ male. comics nerd. loved the first film.
"That was the worst film I've ever seen. EVER. There were no redeeming features. It was fucking awful."

M~ male. has somewhat dubious taste in books and movies as far as I'm concerned. Liked the first film ok.
"There was one redeeming feature. I didn't have to pay for that. What a load of shite."

B~ male. vaguely comic nerdy. didn't really care for the first film.
"FUCKING AWFUL. So awful, I can't even think of anything else to say about it other than AWFUL."

and now my opinion.
I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't a great film. There was way too much talk of weddings. It's a superhero film. I don't really care that much about weddings in a superhero film. If I wanted weddings I'd go and see Four Weddings. Not Fantastic Four. But it had fire stunts! and flying cars! and Dr Doom! and Chris Evans! They clearly got a really good deal on some spray on tan, and the jokes were beyond cheesy and there wasn't much in the way of character development. But I still had fun.

So three against one. violently against. with much head shaking. If you're easily pleased by films, don't judge them harshly and are willing to turn your brain off for an hour and a half, you might agree with me. If you're an exacting film critic, I'd give it a miss.
