Scored from 1,777 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Summary
When an ancient army invades China, the imperial command orders all families to send one male soldier to enlist. Mulan, whose father is gravely ill, disguises herself as a man and takes his place in the army. She must survive brutal military training and combat while concealing her identity.
Niki Caro directed Mulan, an action, adventure and drama film from 2020. It was made in the United States. It stars Yifei Liu, Donnie Yen and Li Gong. It is rated PG-13. The runtime is 120 minutes.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 950 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 1,777 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 1,914 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2020s films — 7,930 of them.
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 Mulan 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 · 2020s (7,930 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 1,777.
