Pros: A very good story that is based on the life on Carl Brashear, superb acting.
Cons: -----------------------
Master Chief Sunday: The Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for ...

Pros: Very inspirational movie, acting is superb.
Cons: Only a few.
Booker T. Washington once said, “It’s not what you accomplished in life. It’s what it took you to accomplish what you did.” Such is the message of this very inspirational movie, Men of Honor. It is the true story of Carl Brashear, the ...

Pros: Fact based story, strong main characters, motivating.
Cons: profanity but it makes the character.
Period = 1948 - 1979; Characters = A; Settings = B, special effects = B (limited); Plot/story = A (fact based);
No details here about the plot so you can enjoy it developing on your own.
I bought this movie on DVD. The DVD features...

Pros: Cuba Gooding, Jr. gives a career performance- DeNiro & cast are excellent
Cons: Half the deleted scenes should've been left in- they filled in small gaps. Sailor language.
I hate it when a movie's hype is actually better than the movie itself. With Gooding, DeNiro, Theron, Keith, Booth & Holbrook in the cast, I was wondering if it would be true in this case. This almost had the look of another cookie cutter Tom Clancy...

Pros: Another addition to the pantheon of great work by Cuba Gooding Jr.
Cons: Bob Deniro scowling underwater
The question is, has Cuba Gooding Jr. put in anything other than outstanding film performances to date?
Even in that shocker of all shockers, 'Lightning Jack', alongside the great Paul Hogan as a shadow of himself, Cuba gave the film its only...

Pros: Good Actors, Good story
Cons: Quite a lot of swearing which may not be suitable for younger viewers.
With the acting duo of Robert DeNiro and Cuba Gooding Jr. leading the way, one can expect good things from the start of Men of Honor.
The movie tells the true story of a young African-American boy growing up on a southern plantation ran by his...

Pros: A historical background based ingeneous film
Cons: None
Men of Honor is a dramatic film that portrays the life of Carl Brashear and his amazing story of his life in the United States Navy.
Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays Carl Brashear and does an amazing job in this lead role. Brashear's life is one of a...

Pros: Gives the viewer a sense of PRIDE and a feeling of HONOR.
Cons: Upsetting to see how UNFAIR and DISRESPECTFUL our military once was.
Men of Honor is one of many movies that has made me PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, yet it also made me have a feeling of discomfort to realize how African Americans were once discriminated against by our military, just because of...

Pros: Cuba, Robert, the movie was a true story
Cons: U.S.military reference, too dramatic
Well, I saw this movie on blockbuster video, on a wide screen t.v. Overall, I liked the movie. On reason I liked it because it was a true story. Other reason is because Cuba's performance, as well as Robert Dinero's performance was as usual, incredible....

Pros: Strong performances by Deniro and Gooding, great DVD package
Cons: Incomplete ending. Alternate ending should have been reworked and added
I really liked this film. I liked the fact that it told the real life experiences of Carl Brashear. He was the first african american diver in the US Navy. I think that it is important to realize that this movie while based upon actual events is...

Pros: Touching, suspenseful, appeals to both men and women!
Cons: Diving scenes are VERY tense - Not a relaxing movie :-)
I watched this movie last night - and I cried pretty much through the whole thing. I thought it was extremely touching. I've never been a big war or army movie fan - but this movie showed more than just men in their roles as navy men - it also showed...

by Ed.Williamson - Top 200, Aug 02 '01
Pros: Cuba and Robert giving electrifying performances as two sea-dogs in a ferocious dogfight.
Cons: Maybe a little too flag-waving at times.
Men of Honor is a very fine movie that every American and lots of other people should see if they want to really understand America. It tells the story of Carl Brashears, a mentally and physically tough young black man who came into his own in the...

Pros: True life story of the struggle of a man to fit into the system
Cons: some graphic, physical scenes; modern military history that can make many feel uncomfortable
This is based on the true story of a poor, black sharecroppers son who dreamed of becoming a naval diver. It graphically depicts the racism and prejudice of this country from the 1950's onward.
It is a story of a man who would not give up his dream...

Pros: Cuba Gooding Jr. gives his typical performance.
Cons: Cuba Gooding Jr. gives his typical performance.
The Cook
This is a true amazing story about the first African-American US Navy diver and so I find it hard to give it a bad review, but the movie is plain hogwash. This flick basically stars two people, Carl Brashear (Gooding Jr.) and Billy...
