OH PLEASE, MAKE IT GO AWAY
The 7 second plot line: Man (well, Canadian) gets the crap beaten out of him by a grizzly Bear (unfortunaetly not shown). This motivates him to build a suit of armour that can withstand a Grizzly attack. Does "Martial Arts" (cough) in his underwear, talks about his BIG knives, sits in garbage dump looking at Black bears, goes to confront mean Grizzly, chickens out with lame excuse, promises to continue the tale in part 2. The end.
The closest he gets to a Grizzly is from a hillside a mile away. Not exactly the Grizzly V Man action promised.
Seriously, WHAT? He lives in Bear country, studies bears, knows the land, and them spends 7 years and 100 000 dollars building a suit of armour that can't be used in bear country because he can only walk on flat ground? Really?
If you can't walk in it, is it really a SUIT of armour? You may as well stand still in the middle of a Grizzly trail and get a couple buddies to build a small concrete and steel fort around you. That would protect you from a Grizzly, but you couldn't call that a suit of armour either, and it would be a damn site cheaper too,
The one (almost) highlight of the entire miserable affair is when he gets a marksman to fire an arrow and a rifle at the suit. Whoo-hoo. At last, some action. But no, sadly he wasn't in the suit at the time. I mean c'mon, if you are not sure that it will protect you, test it off camera, then, when you are sure you will be safe, for a really impressive test that will have us all on the edge of our seats (and after an hour of this droll, cheering for the bullet), actually be in the suit for the "on camera" action.
Bit of advice, if you are to scared to face a Grizzly, (and there is no shame there, I'm to scared to face a grizzly), don't tell people you are going to, and don't make it worse by promising to make a documentary about it, especially if you are not one of those people who says, "oh well, I may as well go for it now that all these people are involved".
This is one of those dogs that you can't stop watching because you are sure the video rental shops wouldn't stock crap like this and therefore must get good eventually. Sadly though...it doesn't. It gets even worse, and by the time you realise that, you have invested so much time in this already that you just have to stick it out till the end. A bit like what I imagine it would be like to have all but 3 of your teeth pulled, without anesthetic. It must hurt like hell, but you made it that far, you may as well go all the way and get those last 3 pulled.
I would face a 100 grizzly's NAKED if I could get to UNwatch this, and if anyone knows anyone who knows someone that can organise that, please give me a call.
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
