Summary
When ancient Titans awaken around the globe, Godzilla is summoned to battle the three-headed King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan in an epic clash that threatens humanity's survival.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a 2019 action, adventure and science-fiction film starring Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga and Millie Bobby Brown. Its certificate is PG-13. Michael Dougherty directed it. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. It runs 2h 11m.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 1,793 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,875 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 3,522 of whom clear the calibration test.
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 Godzilla: King of the Monsters 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 · 2010s (13,059 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 1,793.
