Scored from 239 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 1990s (4,082 peers).
Summary
Detroit slides into chaos as a powerful new street drug called Nuke fuels a violent crime wave led by its messianic creator, Cain. While OCP pushes to privatize the bankrupt city, the corporation also races to build a successor cyborg, RoboCop 2, and the original RoboCop must contend with both the drug lord and the unstable new machine threatening the streets.
Released in 1990, RoboCop 2 is an action, crime and science-fiction film.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 1990s films — 4,082 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 239 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 248 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,813 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 RoboCop 2 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 239.
