Scored from 237 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
After a brawl on the medal podium gets them banned from men's singles figure skating, rival champions Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy exploit a loophole to compete together as the sport's first male-male pairs team. Coached back into shape, the mismatched duo must overcome their mutual loathing to take on a scheming brother-sister pair at the World Championships.
Blades of Glory is a 2007 comedy and sport film. Inside comedy it is classed as Goofy.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 47,515 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 237 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 245 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Blades of Glory 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 · 2000s (7,847 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 237.
