AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

gridoon2018 Technically / visually it's almost its equal, and in terms of character it's more intimate and introspective. But it's also much slower-paced: if Bear alone faced, say, 10 challenges per episode, with a celebrity guest they face, say, 4. There is also one more problem: too much rappelling. It's thrilling to watch the first few times, but when every single episode has it (though I have missed a couple), it gets repetitive. My favorite episode is probably the one with Vanessa Hudgens - she is extremely likable, and the "screen running" at the end makes for an exciting change-of-pace. For this concept at its freshest, see the "Man Vs. Wild" specials "Fan Vs. Wild" and the one with Jake Gyllenhaal. *** out of 4.

kierancrockett Cmon' lets face it, this show is awesome, there's funny moments but also exciting ones too, Love bear he's great and most of his guests (I should say victims really) give some real funny reactions to some stuff that he does. Shaq's episode killed me a little lmao.

Gantec was really into this show UNTIL I watch a youtube video that showed an entire episodes path and after watching the show again, saw everything. The entire thing was shoot within 100 yard of main road. One scene was done in family park.With all the pre-staged areas for the actors, IE ropes already there. Packs already in place, bikes/boats sitting there waiting,30-50 crew members around them at all times, just takes any realism out of the show it may have had. Bear may as well take them to Chucky-Cheese an call it Authentic Italian. Unfortunately for Bear once that 4th wall was tore down it completely ruined the show, I feel bad for Bear, before I use to think of him as the Grizzly Bear, now it more wet teddy bear.

atlasmb I suspect there are many who would like to go on an outdoor adventure with Bear Grylls, taking advantage of his experience and expertise. "Running Wild" allows the viewer to do that--from the comfort of his easy chair.In the first episode I watched (from the second season), Kate Hudson--actress, dancer, and daughter of Goldie--accompanied Bear on a traverse of a pass in the Italian Dolomites. They climbed rocks, they hiked above the snowline, they passed through tunnels left over from WWII, and they rappelled beside a raging waterfall. They dined on available foods. They spent the night on pine boughs beside a comforting fire, taking time to discuss some deeper issues.When it was over, Kate had experienced laughter, tears, and some moments of contemplation and insight. What more could you ask for? I think Bear likes to push his guests beyond their comfort zones. But he seems rather trustworthy in his exhaustive knowledge of techniques for negotiating risky situations. These are transformative experiences and it's fun to share them.Update 7/29/15: After three episodes, it is clear that this show is even more than I thought it was. By sharing the triumphs of Bear's guests, the viewer is treated to elevating experiences. As the book says, "Feel the Fear and do it Anyway" and that principle is embodied by the show and its lesson is made real. I am increasing my grade to 9. Enjoyable and inspiring.
