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: 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: It's a real waker-upper.
Cons: It doesn't show the full extent of Carl Brashear's ordeal.
Yes, we've all seen this kind of movie a million times before. Most people think, "If I've seen one, I've seen a million". However, "Men of Honor" seems to stand out among your average "rise above the hate" movies. In a...

Pros: DeNiro puts on another good show, good plot
Cons: pointless sub plots
With great actors like Robert DeNiro and Cuba Gooding Jr. how can this film not be great?
This film is about a black man wanting to go to diving school. He eventually gets accepted, but is often ridiculed by his white peers. Many don't want...

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: 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: Sentimental, Cuba Gooding Jr is a boyishly handsome actor
Cons: Plot is atrocious and unbelievable
A girlfriend claimed that her mother thought this was an excellent movie, so we went to see it. I hadn't heard of it, so I didn't realize until the closing credits that this was a true-life movie. The writers of this script should have taken some clues...

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: language is bad but it was real
This movie was based on a true and amazing story. This movie spoke to me on many different levels. One was what a horrible species human beings are. It is not a pretty sight what people do to each other just because your skin is darker that someone...

Pros: amazing
Cons: none
This movie is just absolutely amazing, a group of people from my work got free passes to the movie on its opening night and it is by far one of the best. If you like movies based on a true story and that show the determination of a persons heart this is...

Pros: Great acting, plot, and story line
Cons: Slow points in movie/plot
After seeing this movie, I was very happy I had seen it. It held my attention, and the plot was well developed. The movie dragged on at certain points, but the great acting, along with characters you can identify with, made it overall a good movie....

Pros: It encourages you to strive and do your best!
Cons: Sitting in the theater, it seems to be kinda long
I am a huge fan of both Cuba Gooding,Jr. and Robert DeNiro and as usual, they did a wonderful job. This movie is not only entertaining, it has a message in it also. The message here is simply "courage". This film has courage written all over it...

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...
