Dull sequel has more scares, peril than the original.

What's the Story?
In the world of WINGS: SKY FORCE HEROES where planes, trucks, and robots talk, Ace (Josh Duhamel), Windy (Hilary Duff), Fred, and the Colonel work as airborne rescuers. Ace defies orders during a mission and the Colonel dies. Ace blames himself and quits the rescue squad for a job transporting coal, but when his fellow mine workers face an avalanche, Ace jumps back into rescue mode.
Is It Any Good?
This movie is as dull and unsatisfying as the previous Wings film but with a few more scary sequences. Add confusion to the ways in which this film fails. Plot lines are vague and unclear. The finale hangs on a snowstorm rescue, but why do the planes need rescue? Unclear. Most of the characters have the same names and voices as those in the previous movie. Josh Duhamel still plays a plane called Ace, and Hilary Duff plays one called Windy. But the characters are completely different in looks and history. The sleek aerobatics jet called Ace is now a chunky propeller-driven rescue plane. Windy was a lean lavender aerobics instructor; now she's a pink double-propeller rescuer. Rob Schneider voiced a sidekick bird called Dodo; now he is a robot named Fred. Why bother calling this Wings?
