Ghost Rider
Scored from 588 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
Motorcycle stuntman Johnny Blaze makes a Faustian bargain with Mephistopheles to save his love Roxanne, becoming the Ghost Rider—a supernatural vigilante with a flaming skull. Now bound by his infernal curse, he must hunt down evil and discover the true cost of his dark powers.
Mark Steven Johnson directed Ghost Rider, an action, superhero and supernatural film from 2007. It runs 1h 50m and carries a PG-13 certificate. It stars Nicolas Cage, Evan Rachel Wood and Wes Bentley. It was made in the United States.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. 588 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 609 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 38,822 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
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 Ghost Rider 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 588.
