The rating system on IMDB is ridiculous. Most of the time movies get a high vote exactly the way you said. Most people start threads to get movies on the top 10 or even the bottom without even seeing them (it happened recently with the simpsons movie). Plus, it has been noted repeatedly how very low votes influence the average much more than positives.
Another creepy and significative thing that has been brought out is how a lot of movies with controversial subjects or all ethnic cast are being voted zero by prude or racist nutjobs. The issue has been brought up repeatedly on their forums and gives you an idea on how reliable the whole site is.
