What a waste of my time!!!

A lot of fun.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This is something between documentary and TV show about nature. In 19th century man is falsely accused of murder that he did not commit, so he flees to mountains where he saves rears grizzly cub. Movie follows next 10 years of his life in wilderness in harmony with nature with grizzly bear as his best friend. There is no dialogues, it's made as documentary followed by first-person narrative. There's not much plot either, but it is full of beautiful landscapes and various wild animals keeping company to our narrator. Movie became very popular so they made TV show few years later. Show was more movie-like, with plot for every episode, dialogues and such. When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I remember it was shown on Sundays and me and my sister wouldn't miss it for anything. It is simply beautiful. warm recommendation to everyone who loves nature and animals.8/10

Saw it when I was 11 or 12 in a Montreal movie house. Was in well dubbed French version (Quebec dubbing with late French actor Leo Ilial doing the voice of Mr.Haggerty, who recently passed away).Story was a tale of taming the wilderness, especially when he takes care of a bear cub, which became a huge grizzly bear. One specific thing that touched me is when he took care of an injured native, whom he became a "blood brother" and protector. However, he must stay out in the wild as he is a wanted man, pursued for a crime he never committed. His daughter finally reaches him, but he adopted the solitude of the woods.Well photographed at the time, and would have believed that Disney would have shot a movie like this, however, it was Sun International who did this (they produced also a movie about a grizzly, named "Toklat").Great to watch if you enjoy the wilderness. I did.

They don't make films like this anymore, sadly, since it presents such a thoughtful and gentle view of living in harmony in the wild with animals that it no doubt is called "corny" by modern cynics that are far too jaded by our coarse modern culture.Dan Haggerty debuts as James "Grizzly" Adams, and is perfect casting, though it is a shame that the narration doesn't allow him to speak very much! Great score, lovely scenery, and pleasant(though still sad) story are all pluses. Schick Sunn Classics produced this, as well as other Documentary films like "In Search Of Noah's Ark", "The Lincoln Conspiracy" & "Beyond & Back".Not yet on DVD, an oversight I hope gets corrected soon!This film was a huge hit, and led to the TV series.

takes me back to my young childhood growing up with my pets that I took in from the wild. love the show so much, just found a copy that I paid a pretty little price for, just to able to show to my two young children. two thumbs up for grizzly adams, except the last show- the capture of grizzly adams- TERRIBLE
