Archaeologist Rick O'Connell travels to China, pitting him against an emperor from the 2,000-year-old Han dynasty who's returned from the dead to pursue a quest for world domination. This time, O'Connell enlists the help of his wife and son to quash the so-called 'Dragon Emperor' and his abuse of supernatural power.

Now why did I like this movie? It was just plain dumb fun, is why. It is absurd and preposterous, and proud of it.

Dragon Emperor succeeds largely through sheer excess: It's doubtful that any idea was thrown out for being too implausible.

After an hour of inert exposition, a race through Shanghai gooses the movie alive. Then it plunges back into torpor.

The movie bogs down in tiresome good guys vs. bad guys action cliches.

Chicago Tribune
The film has one objective: to smack its audience in the face with fleeting, competing wows, over and over.
