Scored from 834 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
Fifteen years after lawsuits and public backlash forced costumed heroes into retirement, Bob Parr, once the super-strong Mr. Incredible, pushes claims paperwork in an insurance cubicle and sneaks out at night with his friend Lucius to chase police scanners. His wife Helen, formerly Elastigirl, wants an ordinary suburban household for their children: self-effacing Violet, who throws force fields, speedster Dash, and baby Jack-Jack. When Bob is quietly hired to fight a prototype combat robot on a remote island, he takes the job without telling her, and it proves to be bait set by someone with a grudge from his glory days. Brad Bird's Pixar feature is a superhero adventure built on a middle-aged man's crisis.
Released in 2004, The Incredibles is an action, adventure and animation film. Its certificate is PG. It runs 1h 55m. Its country of origin is listed as the United States.
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, 246,286 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 834 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 861 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 The Incredibles 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 834.
