Summary

Black Lightning is a 2009 action, science-fiction and thriller film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. Only 29 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 29 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 94 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
