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: No onscreen Sex
Cons: strong Language
This is one of the best action/war movies that I've seen in a long time. It kept me squirming in my seat throughout the movie.
This is another movie about prejudice in the armed services during and after World War II. Robert DeNiro was excellent...

This is the true to life story of Carl Brashear, an African-American son of a Kentucky farmer who dreamt of being the best that he can be. His father never wanted Carl to end up like him, so he encouraged him to never quit and never come home for a long...

Pros: great acting
Cons: time seems to move really fast
Wow! I recently saw this movie and I was so impressed I would have been willing to see it again that night. Cuba Gooding Jr. again gave an outstanding performance as Carl Brashear, a black farm boy from Kentucky who wanted to make something of himself...

Pros: great acting; award winning
Cons: hard to believe events
Well, I know they say this is BASED on a true story, but it becomes a bit hard to believe that this guy does this stuff. Maybe it is the Hollywood coming out to enhance what ACTUALLY happened just to achieve high box office volume.
I liked...

Pros: Good story, good acting
Cons: none
Men of Honor is a good movie because:
It has a good plot. It is about a black man who wants to be a navy master diver. The story takes place in the nineteen forties, and no blacks are never more than cooks in the navy. But Cuba...

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...

by Ronboy  - Top 1000, Apr 20 '01
Pros: DeNiro, true story
Cons: unoriginal and often over dramatic
Yes, I'll admit it! I was lured into this motion picture by the cast alone. I figured anything starring Robert DeNiro was bound to be good, I wasn't disappointed but I wasn't pleased either. After the movie ended I found myself feeling empty and...

Pros: True Story Brought to the Screen
Cons: Highlights racism that the viewers might not want to face.
Men of Honor is the story of an economically challenged Black youth raised on the farm determined to rise above the racial opinions of days when Blacks were thought of as "nigers". Joining the U.S. Navy, he fought his way to the top of his ranks...

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: Cuba Gooding Jr and Robert De Niro make the most of the material.
Cons: The film is too conventional and square-jawed for its own good.
The story of Carl Brashear is an inspirational, almost unbelievable one. After all, Brashear enlisted in the Navy the year the armed forces were desegregated and he overcame giant obstacles - harsh racism, bureaucratic bullies, the loss of his leg - to...

Pros: Excellent story line and great actors.
Cons: The movie is a bit long at 2 hours.
Men of Honor is truly an excellent motion picture about a young black man, during the days of segregation, who joins the US Navy to make a life for himself beyond the farm life he grew up in.
Against all odds, including military interference and...

Pros: Excellent true story, no sex scenes
Cons: Foul language
I was unsure of renting this movie at first, but I am glad I did. Deniro does an excellent job playing of course a big jerk. Cuba Gooding Jr. plays a military man trying to become a master diver, and he does an excellent job too! The movie is based on a...

Pros: interesting, exciting, involving
Cons: some parts are hard to believe
I originally wanted to see this movie because I am a fan of war movies, and this looked interesting. After seeing the movie however, I realized that rather than a film about war, it was a film about a man's fight against racism to become the first...
