Summary
In 1957, archaeologist Indiana Jones is drawn back into action when Soviet agents force him to help recover a legendary crystal skull. Accompanied by a young drifter and a former love interest, Jones embarks on a dangerous quest across exotic landscapes while evading his Cold War pursuers.
Steven Spielberg directed Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an action, adventure and science-fiction film from 2008. It runs 2h 2m and carries a PG-13 certificate. It was made in the United States. It stars Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf and Karen Allen.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 53,778 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 1,624 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 1,690 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus.
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 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 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 1,624.
