Well, technically, if they allowed a 0 star rating, they would have to additionally offer a downward scale of -1 to -10 for a proper absolute value balance, which could get confusing, not to mention that the mean could be thrown off more easily by trolls and so on.
There are a few movies I would probably give a -10 to, but I'm satisfied with this system. At any rate, I am somewhat amazed whenever an IMDb rating comes even close to my own personal views relative to rating, although there have been a few cases where this has actually happened (and I cried). To think the majority of the general public out there and I could near agreement on something is highly disturbing.
I liked this movie, by the way, even though it is completely mindless and historically ridiculous (most movies are highly erroneous when it comes to anything technical or factual, even from a simplistic viewpoint).
