Yes he's funny and likable, but we want to see him fight and do stuns and there is painfully little of that here. The girls' roles were obnoxious and not well fleshed out, and the scene with the hyenas was ok, but a little annoying.
The villain is not very evil, and too OTT. He's annoying, and seems like a villain from a Disney movie. The ending has to be one of the weirdest movie endings I've ever seen. Like, the entire cast does this big choreographed dance, and they sing. Seriously, what? Stanley Tong, obviously trying something new, should stick to his usual action territory. This movie's marketing made a big deal out of him directing, which is fair as he's responsible for some of Jackie's all-time best vehicles.
Here though, he abandons everything everyone loved about his previous works for this strange, strange movie. There are some fun action scenes. The fight in the ice caves, the street fight, the fight with the briefcase, the car chase in which Jackie drives a car with a lion in it , and the final fight. The long climax in the caves with the artifacts is very derivative of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade , and while the final fight is ok, it's a little short.
I can't recommend this one, and even Jackie Chan fans should exercise caution. It's not very fun, and much screen time is given to people we don't care about. It seems here that Jackie's losing his edge for the action scenes, but he proved that he obviously still has it with The Foreigner in the same year.

He's trying to clear the name of his rebel ancestor and steal the treasure. This movie is problematic for several reasons. The action is OK but the movie struggles whenever the action stops. The movie starts with a big CGI battle.
It looks too video-gamey. The inferior CGI is excusable but it's not a good start. It's also a lot of exposition to unpack. It doesn't need to be when the audience is willing to follow a lost army without learning the Sino-Indian history.
There are some beautiful people but there are also some limitations on the acting. It doesn't help that the writing gets stale at times. I love Jackie Chan but he should be more Indiana Jones. Starting as a professor with all the tech gadgets make him less appealing. Instead of an action hero, he starts too much as a bookish techie.
Then there is the treasure hunt. It goes from one place to another on flimsy excuses. There's no reason why Magadha would send a key to the underground treasure to China. The movie ends in a Bollywood dance off. I understand the attempt but it sucks out any remaining tension. This has the potential of an action adventure but it suffers from ongoing stumbles. This was a bit of a disappointment to me, even if it was Stanley Tong's return to directing Jackie Chan after a dozen years.
Chan has become an international star, and so his producers can afford to spend a lot of money on production values, such as flying the cast to Iceland for location shooting, and wrecking Lamborghinis in the Emirate States; Mr. Chan is also slightly older than I am, so he cannot do the amazing, funny, real life stunts that made his movies such a treat.
