The Day After Tomorrow B
2012 B
Godzilla B

Stargate C+

Independence Day D
White House Down D

Independence Day: Resurgence F

I doubt I will ever see 10,000 BC (I did start it once but it was a bad copy so stopped watching - from what I saw it wasn't good), and I will actively avoid Stonewall and Anonymous.

The Patriot: A-
Anonymous: B+
Independence Day: B+
Stargate: B+
Universal Soldier: B
White House Down: B-
The Day After Tomorrow: C
10,000 BC: C
2012: C

So I guess, on average, I would place his career in the B- to C+ range.

I have not seen Stonewall. Nor this bad boy:

Putting his career average at B to B-.
Some highs, some lows, but for a sci-fi blockbuster Emmerich is a pretty good choice.

To be honest I don't think I would rate any of those movies higher than a C+ except for Stargate which is around B
