I also saw the cheesey one that got shelved back in the early 1990s, and even found that one entertaining in a chessetastic or "so bad it's good" sort of way. It's almost sad for the new one when I'm finding ways where even the cheesey one that shelved in the '90s is more enjoyable than this one.
With the Fantastic Four (F4), it's kind of like when George Lucas said he started the Star Wars saga at Episode 4 because the technology wasn't there to do the first three properly. The F4 done right require a lot of great CG, which is possible now. Besides an 'origin story', an F4 film needs to be crazy loaded with complex CG action.

I enjoyed the first F4 with Chris Evans/Human Torch too. I haven't seen the sequel yet.
