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: 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: Very well acted, good story, very uplifting, good cast.
Cons: None that I found
Last night I watched the video "Men of Honor," in which Cuba Gooding, Jr gives, what I felt was an outstanding performance . He portrays a master diver in the United States Navy, the first African American to achieve this high-ranking position. His...

Pros: Exceptional true story of an American hero!
Cons: None
If you haven’t already seen this movie or heard about the incredible true-life story of Carl Brashear you are missing a fantastic story of courage and fortitude. Carl Brashear was Americas first African American to become a Master Diver for the United...

Pros: Story was touching!
Cons: Roberts accent!
Men of Honor is about an old Diver for the Navy and a young black man trying to become a diver. As the two give each other hell, they also get alot of hell from others. Robert Denero and Cuba Gooding Jr. are eventually friends by the end of the movie....

Pros: Two awesome actors, one incredible movie. What else can be said?
Cons: little kids probably won't understand this one too much
Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert Deniro - an incredible duo in an even more incredible must-see! This is about the Navy, but it's not about war. At least, not the war of bloodied bodies staining hot ground, but the war of one man, who refuses to be...

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...

Pros: inspiring true story, Gooding and DeNiro
Cons: lots of profanity (this is the Navy, after all)
To be perfectly honest, when my brother rented this film last week I was pretty sure that I wouldn't like it; I thought it would be a war movie with plenty of bloody action to keep my brother enthralled. As it turned out, I was entirely mistaken. This...

Pros: action. emotion
Cons: language.
In my opinion, this is the most thought provoking movie since The 6th Sense. You leave the theater wondering how anyone could have lived through all that drama and still remained head-strong and in control. I only wish some of the older actors parts...

Pros: Good history/reality lesson
Cons: Charlize(?) Theron could have used more screen time
Say whatever you wants about how movies based in true stories are biased, or lose perspective, or many times glorify things they should not. Men of Honor reminds us that there was/is racism in the Armed Forces, forces that resist change/improvement, and...

Pros: Easy to catch story line, fluid and full of suspense.
Cons: Slow in the beginning
I had the chance to screen Men of Honor at the National Association of Black Journalist's conference and I must say that I was fascinated, overwhelmed and encouraged from this movie. From the beginning to the end Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert Deniro...

Pros: good acting, good story
Cons: racial slurs
When you put two talented actors together such as Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert DeNiro you should expect nothing short of greatness with a half decent script. This movie delivers as do those actors.
This is the kind of movie that really makes...

Pros: Inspirational
Cons: Gory when leg gets nearly chopped off by swinging pole
I saw this movie because I heard from many people that this movie is supposed to be very good. Also, this movie is a true story; I am the kind of person that enjoys watching films that have actually happened. The movie portrays the hardships that...

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...
