Rick and Evie are called out of retirement when their son Alex accidentally awakens the ruthless Chinese emperor Han. As the feared mummy wreaks havoc, the O’Connell family head to Shangri-La in an effort to stop Han from becoming immortal and taking over the world with his terracotta army.

With Rob Cohen having taken the reins from regular series director Stephen Sommers, the film has been crammed with all the silly action that we’ve come to expect from the Stealth helmer.

Although it means that the film is pretty watchable, it also means that the potentially absorbing storyline is lost somewhere beneath a sea of CG crap. Ultimately, everything about the film seems to be aimed solely at the dopiest of punters.
