Summary
A ruthless 16th-century mercenary captain, condemned for his bloody deeds, renounces violence and seeks redemption as a peaceful Puritan. When a sorcerer's raiders ravage the English countryside and abduct the daughter of a kind family who sheltered him, Kane is forced to take up arms again, journeying through a demon-haunted land to rescue her and confront the evil that claims his soul.
Solomon Kane (2009) is a film IMDb files under the action, adventure and fantasy genres.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,472 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 162 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 165 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Solomon Kane 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 162.
