Grizzly Man

This was strange, creepy yet vastly entertaining as well. Werner Herzog is a fascinating film maker who puts together a movie using over 100 hours of actual footage from Timothy Tredwell as well as interviews with the people in his life... Full review

A sad and poignant character study of a complex and troubled man. The filmmaker was allowed access to one hundred hours of footage shot by a forty-something guy who summered in the Alaskan wilderness with the grizzly bears until being eaten... Full review

I thought it would be sort of a pretty documentary about the Grizzlies in Alaska. I've wanted to go to Alaska for a long time and I was excited. Well, I was wrong. This guy is nuts! I thought the documentarian... Full review

Absolutely the WORST documetary I've ever seen. What does everyone see in this?? A paranoid, deathwish alcoholic states that for 13 summers he lives and wants to act like a grizzly but the primary reason he is there is to "protect... Full review

Don't waste 1hr 43mins of your life. The only people that will enjoy this film are those who support the U.C. Berkeley Tree sitters. In the film Treadwill states that he is not a homosexual. I disagree. Treadwell is clearly disturbed... Full review

This is a movie about an emotionally imbalanced guy who takes some very dumb risks around grizzly bears and eventually gets eaten. The only surprise is that he lasted as long as he did. That said - there are some extraordinary... Full review

with money and too much time on his hands. Because I see it for what it is I found it entertaining. This guy knows very little about bears. The movie doesn't really go into bears and their habitat and so on.... Full review

Don't be fooled just because the bears are cute and cuddly looking, they really aren't! This guy was a nutcase, but what a fascinating documentary. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen Very good. I highly recommend this film to... Full review

The grizzly man needed therapy and not to be out trying to make friends with wild bears. This is worth seeing simply for the education it will give you on the situation beset for bears in the wild and what encroaching... Full review

The movie was was put together very well. The narration was genious at times. You just want to laugh at Mr. Treadwell through out the whole movie. How can one person be so delusional? His life was like that horrible car... Full review

Treadwell's obsession with bears makes him seem less like an activist and more like a psych ward resident.....he is the "protector" of the bears in the Alaskan wilderness..... ... Full Review

With little else but a camera to keep him company, Timothy Treadwell spent years living among the bears in the breathtakingly beautiful Alaskan peninsula region. And although we are left with the impression that Treadwell died as he would have wanted to, there were other needless deaths - that of his girlfriend Amie, and the bear, which was shot by a ranger. ... Full Review

The Grizzly Man Diaries" manages to let us appreciate the fruits of Treadwell's labor and life, without asking us to submit to his fantasies. On a deeper level, Herzog made "Grizzly Man" into a cautionary tale about the broad human desire to romanticize nature, despite its indifference and hostility. ... Full Review

And, especially since it is from some of the same producers who were behind the Herzog film, that leaves the program with a gratuitous, ghoulishly voyeuristic feel. His up-close-and-personal methods drew objections from more traditional wildlife experts and ultimately proved fatal: in 2003 one or more bears killed and partly ate Mr. Treadwell and a girlfriend. ...

But the best part of the soundtrack is the underwater recording of seal calls: a great percussive symphony of clucks, whistles, beeps and screams. You learn how to build an igloo, and you must pass the bucket-over-your-head test -- a simulation of zero visibility -- which everybody hopelessly flunks. ... Full Review
