A hobby I have is posting reviews of movies that don't have a ton of reviews on IMBD. I always try to be detailed and fair and just state the facts.

But I always get "not helpful" votes.

It seems to me most people don't want to know the truth. When I post a positive review (5 stars) I always get a lot of helpful votes.

Just seems odd.
I think most people value truth.

However, there may be a fine line between "truth" and perceived negativity. I too leave reviews quite a bit. If I get treated really well, I leave a very positive review. If I don't like something, I leave a negative review. Where I get frustrated is when I see accounts that only leave negative reviews. I guess since you brought it up, I need to look into my own feelings about it.
Because when I see this, I will get the impression that the individual is just a negative person or hard to please.
