I bet it'll be just fine. It's really crazy to me when people shit on a movie that not only they havent seen, but isn't even out yet. Then again it's the internet and especially CE where being a hater is cool.

Or, or, or, sometimes we take into account of things like the people working on the film like the director (who doesn't have a great track record) or the studio (who also doesn't have a great track record) or some of the usual red flags, like the number of writers and our feelings on the trailers, to support our assumption about the film.
Let's not act like people are hating on this for no reason. It's okay to have your opinions of something pre-release. We all do it. The final product will ultimately either change your mind or it won't.

It's actually not ok to have an opinion of a movie you haven't seen. See it'd be different if people were just saying that there are red flags or that it seems to have similarities in production with previous films that flopped, but no people are saying "I'm not going to watch this shitty movie" and the kind of preconceived notion of a movie can be the difference between a movie having minor and completely flopping.

The odds are very clearly on this movie not being good. There certainly is a chance it could be enjoyable though.

I will still see it OW, but I'm mostly just very curious. I'm also a huge Tom Hardy fan. I like the entire superhero genre. I still expect this to easily be among the worst if not the worst superhero movie of the last 5 years.

Though I do have a hard time imagining this being worse than Fant4stic.

This is a completely valid and rational line of thinking. I can tell while you expect it to suck, you want it to be good. Other people get so hyped up on their prediction that it'll suck and the echo chamber of other people claiming it sucks before it even comes out that they actually want it to be garbage because they've become so invested in their own prediction. It has been happening with actors too. A good example of this is Ben Affleck as Batman and Jared Leto as the joker, both did a great job but people got so invested in their prediction of them sucking that it actually affected how their films performed and how their performances were judged.
