But there's been three Fantastic 4 movies, all three of them were...not great. I hope the MCU does a better job in the upcoming film, but given the track record for F4, not so sure
Not made by Marvel though. I'm talking the whole MCU timeline.
Not made by Marvel Studios. Marvel Comics still had some hand in the creation of all non-MCU Marvel films.

I wouldn't word it that way. No one involved in the actual creation of comics ever had any say.
I think the corporate body that had any say was Marvel Entertainment. But they basically rubber-stamped everything. I'm not sure how much say they really had at all beyond very broad strokes (Character X cannot do these things, etc) once the film rights were sold.
Fair, but Kevin Feige was an associate/executive producer on a LOT of pre-MCU films.
X-Men Associate producer
Spider-Man Associate producer
Daredevil Co-producer
X2 Co-producer
Hulk Executive producer
The Punisher Executive producer
Spider-Man 2 Executive producer
Man-Thing Executive producer
Elektra Co-producer
Fantastic Four Executive producer
X-Men: The Last Stand Executive producer
Spider-Man 3 Executive producer
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Executive producer
Punisher: War Zone Executive producer
The Amazing Spider-Man Executive producer
I'd say it was a bit more than just "rubber stamping" films and giving studios the OK. Marvel had SOME influence and say in how the films went, for better or for worse.
