Men of Honor

Pros: amazing cast of characters, incredible plot, action sequences, character delving
Cons: it ends! Why must it end?!? blood and gore, prejudicistic

Be it a sports movie or a war movie...Cuba pulls out all the stops to blow the audience away.
Men of honor has many excellent features...not just Cuba Gooding Jr. An amazing cast, a wonderful plot, excellent screen effects, amazing idea, and a...

Pros: Exciting, action, character studies
Cons: lots of prejudice, anger

I went to see Men of Honor today, on recommendation from several friends. I found it to be very interesting, exciting, human-interest, and left the theatre quite angry at what they call "Men of Honor". Most of the ones you saw were redneck...

Pros: DeNiro, heart-warming tale
Cons: tries your patience

Men of Honor is a very cliché film. It begins with the standard childhood imagery of the underprivileged child with a special gift and the inspirational parent.(I never knew pond water was so clear!) We then are given the gratuitous defiant...

Pros: great acting
Cons: tried to hard to be an Oscar contender

I cannot say that I left the movie feeling as excited as I was coming in. The acting was great, you can never go wrong with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert DeNiro. I especially felt, being a long-time DeNiro fan, that anyone who repects and loves this actor...

Pros: great acting, inspirational story
Cons: a bit sappy, scenes seem to jump

The Mission Objective: Men of Honor covers the life of Carl Brashear. As the Navy's first African-American Diver, he overcame great obstacles in the pursuit of his dream. Early in the film we see a young Carl diving into a nearby waterhole and...

Pros: No Nudity, and No Violence
Cons: Would be considered a girly movie

I know that many people would think that this is a typical story about racism and how blacks overcame. With the typical ending and the whole nine, however I went to see this movie because just like "Remember the Titans" this showed a African...

Pros: Touches the Heart
Cons: Racism

"Men of Honor" is truly an inspiring movie of one man's struggle to be the best. This is based on the true story of Master Chief Carl Brashear played by Cuba Gooding Jr. Brashear the first African-American to become a master diver....

Pros: The Acting Was Superb
Cons: Following the other stories that were intertwined with it.

What a wonderful role Cuba Gooding Jr. played in this movie. Carl Brashears became the first African American Navy Master Diver, but not without many obstacles, some of which were severe, challenged him.

When Carl was a small child his...

Pros: good plot,great acting,nice action scenes
Cons: some roles were typecast,not enough about what Carl did for future black divers

When I decided to see this movie i thought it might be like most wartime movies.No plot and bad acting.This movie surprised me,Cuba Gooding Jr gives an excellent performance of a young black man who is determined to be a Marine master diver.He has to...

Pros: Scenery
Cons: Condensed characters, condensed story line.

I spent time in the Navy. My problem with Navy movies is I that I have to stop myself from looking for all the inaccuracies and theatric license that occurs in military films. The theatric license, I can overlook. When a movie fails to portray the...

Pros: Honor depicted in a black man subjected to racism
Cons: little too long and childhood not developed enough

Men of Honor is a great movie about two great men -- one a white racist who learned to love and respect a black man who wanted to always do his best and who refused to back down to anything. The movie begins with a water scene which was a little too long...

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: Keeps you interested through out the story
Cons: Racism

Through the week you won't catch me up later than 10:00. When my husband brought this movie home, and I read the title I thought for sure I would be asleep before the previews was over.. I was so wrong..

This movie kept me up, and then some....

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...
