I think it's kind of dubious to humanize the bad guys from the last movie because their cartoonish evilness was the only thing that kept you rooting and high fiving your guy friends when Liam Neeson disposed of them in increasingly violent and creative ways. I guess it's trying to make up for inadvertently making the bad guys more and more ethnic as Neeson climbs up the bad guy ladder, culminating in the murder of a Sheikh on his murder/ rape yacht (spoiler alert).

Personally I have nothing but intense disgust for the sex slavery black market, so getting to see Darkman brutalize anybody complicit in said activities is what some people would say as a guilty pleasure, but at the same time it's going to be a little harder now that the film is playing on the other side's personal life by showing family and perhaps even reasons why they got swept up in such a seedy and despicable aspect of organized crime.
