If there's a saving grace, it's the visuals, especially the beautiful scenes of orange krill. But that's about all.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
For all the noise and flapping, the movie, like its heroes, remains flightless.
Happy Feet was one of the greatest and most original animated films, but the sequel can't even decide what it's about for the first 40 minutes.
We get a feeling we've seen it all before.
The gotta-move protagonist of the first animated, Antarctica-set feature -- a misfit young Emperor penguin named Mumble -- returns for the sequel. Only this time he's all grown up... and a lot less fun.
