Summary
Black Adam, an enslaved warrior from ancient Kahndaq, is freed from his tomb after 5,000 years and emerges as a powerful antihero with godlike abilities. Struggling to adapt to the modern world, he clashes with the Justice Society of America who fear his destructive power, while he seeks to liberate his homeland.
Black Adam is a 2022 action, adventure and fantasy film. It stars Dwayne Johnson, Pierce Brosnan and Aldis Hodge. It was made in the United States. It is rated PG-13. The runtime is 125 minutes. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2,362 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 1,430 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 1,506 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2020s films — 7,930 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Black Adam lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,430.
