Too long
This documentry was interesting particularly because the "star" was mentally deranged. I would however say this movie could be 1/3rd in length and it would convey the same thing.

On the surface, this appears to be an objective treatment of its subject. After thinking about it, I realize -- or think I do -- that Herzog is making Treadwell into a modern-day Icarus: flying too close to the sun, he perished. Of the ninety-odd hours of videotape, Herzog culled the ones that show Treadwell seeming to devolve into an ursine madness, where he loses any distinction between himself and the real bears. Herzog shows the Timothy Treadwell who is becoming slightly paranoid and reclusive and decidedly self-absorbed. The film does not dare to question Treadwell's sincerity -- only his judgment. By the end, you are made to feel like Treadwell finally went too far, and got what he had coming.

imagine an effeminate David Lee Roth Running around with bears and foxes, calling them names like "Papa Chocolate" and "Furry Momma" or something, and touching their poop. Apparently he saved a few bears from being killed though, so I guess that's...

People expecting a wildlife documentary will be sorely disappointed. However, I have no idea why anyone would be expecting a wildlife documentary--or even a biographical piece. THIS IS A DOCUMENTARY BY WERNER HERZOG, FOLKS. You may have read about it in Entertainment Weekly, but that doesn't mean it's gonna be an easy pill to swallow, or that's it's going to have a nice tidy wrapped-up conclusion for you. It is, above all, a character sketch of a complictaed man. Hear this: you are not supposed to like Timothy Treadwell. Unlike most of the Hollywood archetypes that our spoonfed culture has come to know and love, Treadwell represents something we rarely see: a human being. Most of us are pretty annoying at times, and wrong alot. Treadwell is wrong, and annoying, and probably a liar. That makes it all the more compelling viewing. If you want to see more of the same stuff you've always seen, about the same kind of characters you've already seen, if you don't care about having yourself challenged as you watch films, then Grizzly Man isn't for you.
