Men of Honor

Pros: SUPER GOOOD, my girlfriend cried 3 times
Cons: there is a scene where the guy broke his leg...it was #@$..

Well, it was Friday night and my girlfriend and I usually go to see a good movie and have a dinner together on Friday. We had a pretty nice dinner in a Italian resturant and we were debating which movie to see tonite. Yet, we concluded that we would...

Pros: well directed
Cons: lots of foul language

Men of Honor is based on the true story of Carl Brashier, the first African American Diver in the United States Navy. This is one of the reasons why I saw it. I had never heard of a Carl Brashier. And the other reason for seeing Men of Honor is because I...

Pros: Great Movie
Cons: Some of this has been done before

This is a movie based on a true story from the days of segregation. A young honorable black man sets out to join the Navy and find a life for himself. He wants to be a Navy Diver. Young blacks in the Navy are traditionally cooks or valets, however he has...

Pros: Terrific acting
Cons: Predictable

This movie is about racism, man's inhumanity to man, and the ability of one individual to go where no black man had been before.

I love movies based on fact... if the Navy's first black master diver was as dedicated and driven as that...

Pros: Robert DeNiro
Cons: Little better scripting

Men Of Honor,
This is one of those movies that both my wife and myself thought was above average.Initially,I expected a macho type of movie as the previews seemed to lead.Naturally,my wife wasn't as excited to go see it as I was but...

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: 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: Robert DeNiro
Cons: the movie drags on and on and on and on and on and on

Men of Honor was a well made movie even though it did drag on a little bit. It as fairly routine like a lot of heroic movies. There is a bunch of stuff like "I know it's against your commands, but I will not let one of my men die". The movie...

Pros: Robert DeNiro
Cons: 2 hrs of horrible luck

We went to see this movie because we both like Robert DeNiro and Cuba Gooding Jr. The thought was with 2 good actors - how could the movie go wrong? This movie is 2 hours of distress and turmoil.

First of all, Cuba's character has everything...

Pros: Great acting by Gooding,Jr. and DeNero and support cast, Inspiring story told well
Cons: none

Trying for the second time to see The Grinch this weekend and both times getting to the counter just when it sold out I have been seeing a lot of second choice movies. However there is nothing second choice about Men of Honor. This is the true story of...

Pros: An overall fun movie. A good story. Robert De Niro is excellent.
Cons: Felt too easy. Main character was flawless. Family life subplot.

This movie had me excited about movies again. For some reason I was really looking forward to a nice, mainstream movie with some good acting, a little action, some period costume design and an interesting story. I did get that, but I got nothing else....

Pros: good acting, story
Cons: uninspiring pace

This is a pretty intresting film based on the true story of Carl Brashear(Cuba Gooding, Jr) and his struggle to become the first African American deep-sea diver in the US Navy. The film starts with the battered visage of Master Chief Navy Diver Billy...

Pros: Good simple patriotism
Cons: Bad simple storyline, even though its based on a "true story"

You should know that this movie is based on a "true story" of Mr. Bashear...like most other true stories(Remember the Titans, Erin Brockovich, Rudy, etc.) there is a "good ending". You will probably feel for the characters and see their point of view...

Pros: Realistic, decent plot
Cons: Extreme political correctness, boring subject

I saw Men of Honor expecting a mildly action-packed film along the lines of U-571. In some ways I was not disappointed. The scenes with the Russian sub and the runaway practice boat were rather exciting and the special effects decent. However the obvious...

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...
