This film is really confused, which iirc was a problem with the first one. It flips between a Watchmen-type "weirdoes in home-made costumes getting the shit kicked out of them" thing and a Mystery Men cartoonish nonsense, but all the while with a pretty mean-spirited feel to it. Also, a lot of the time it wants to be a little character drama and the rest of the time an epic superhero movie, but it's not very good at either. The worst crime of all, though, is it's pretty dull. It spends nearly all the film setting up character motivations and barely has a plot, it's like the first half hour of a Spider-Man movie stretched out to feature-length with a dash of Spider-Man 2's "I don't WANNA be a superhero any more".
Jim Carrey's great in it though.
