Ip Man 4: The Finale
Scored from 255 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2010s (13,059 peers).
Summary
Wing Chun master Ip Man travels to San Francisco to find a school for his son and becomes drawn into tensions between the local Chinese Benevolent Association and a hostile U.S. Marine karate instructor. As his student Bruce Lee stirs controversy by teaching kung fu to Westerners, Ip Man confronts racism, family struggles, and a personal health crisis in his final journey.
Released in 2019, Ip Man 4: The Finale is an action, biography and drama film.
255 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 266 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 152 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Ip Man 4: The Finale 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 255.
