Pros: A true life story on silver screen Cons: A slow sink with over drama
"Men of Honor" or "Honour" as we say in Canada...rates two water wings and two thumbs up.
It's a true-life story at it’s best.
Kinda like a 120 minutes of watching Biohgraphy.
Carl Brashear(Cuba Gooding Jr.), the son of...

Pros: uplifting Cons: none
I go to a school where you don't watch that much TV so I went into this movie having no idea what it was about only with others opinions that it was really good. So you can image me being black how uplifting it was.
Finally we see a movie...

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: Excellent acting and superb story, a clear sense of realism. Cons: too much profanity
I watched this movie because Dr. Suess's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, was sold out, little did i know this movie would touch my heart more than the grinch could ever hope to. A heart wrenching story of a man with determination, pride, gumption, and...

Pros: The best I saw in the past year, it was so inspiring! Cons: Realistic ÒNavyÓ language is pervasive.
Few movies ever capture the essence of noble character like this. I met a Navy diver who was consulted for the movie, and he attested to the realism.
Movies like this cause me to doubt the credibility of the Academy Awards. They have to be out...

Pros: Cuba, Robert, the movie was a true story Cons: U.S.military reference, too dramatic
Well, I saw this movie on blockbuster video, on a wide screen t.v. Overall, I liked the movie. On reason I liked it because it was a true story. Other reason is because Cuba's performance, as well as Robert Dinero's performance was as usual, incredible....

Pros: good actors Cons: none
I think of movies about the armed forces as usually being guy movies. This movie tugs at your heart though, unlike some of the other guy movies. The story line was excellent and the actors were very convincing in their parts. The discrimination plot...

Pros: Terrific performances by the entire cast Cons: A bit too long.
Intense is one description that I would label this movie as. I viewed this movie as soon as it was featured locally and I was not disappointed in my expectations. I feel this movie has Oscar written all over it. The actors chosen for these serious...

Pros: under water action Cons: inflamatory DeNiro
Cuba's upbringing between '43 in Kentucky to '66 in joining the Navy in Charlestown SC brings some moralism, passion, cheering and yelling for the good guy in this movie.
Growing up with his father and him are working the farms, he is...

Pros: Good story Cons: A little slow at points
I like military movies, but this movie is more about character (as the title implies). This movie is about struggling to get appropriate rewards for the way you live your life, even when the cards are stack against you. An earlier review implied that...
