Summary
Mel Brooks' slapstick parody of the Robin Hood legend follows Robin of Loxley as he returns from the Crusades to find his family lands seized by the wicked Prince John and the Sheriff of Rottingham. Robin assembles a band of merry men in tights to fight back, rescue Maid Marian, and restore King Richard to the throne, all while breaking the fourth wall and skewering Hollywood adaptations of the tale.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a 1993 adventure, comedy and musical film. Inside comedy it is classed as Goofy.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 13,640 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 177 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 186 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. 4,081 other films from the 1990s 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 Robin Hood: Men in Tights 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 · 1990s (4,082 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 177.
