as a matter of fact, i HAVE seen alot of movies, and alot of bad ones especially. the difference between this movie, and all those other bad movies, is that even in something like a film featured on mystery science theatre they are trying something original. sure, theyre failing horribly, but can anyone tell me that the filmmakers of Hercules in New York were trying to make a good movie, you have to assume they were just doing it for fun. Men of Honor on the other hand just follows the routine of the "feel-good movie", with the over the top acting and the orchestrated music playing at the emotional peaks. Men of Honor is more standard hollywood fare than any action movies out, and the worst thing about it is that people fall for it and get manipulated by the same old formulas and come out thinking its a great movie.
How many times are we going to have to go through seeing an underdog beat the odds and have to hear about how uplifting it is? There are tons of movies out there that may not be masterpieces, but they add something new to film making and attempt more than a hollywood safe piece of garbage like this.
by the way, before anyone starts yelling about how i must only like action films, my three favorite movies are Midnight Cowboy, All That Jazz, and Before Sunrise. my complaints with men of honor have nothing to do with the lack of violence but the fact that its like every other feel good movie, tries nothing new and its only accomplishment is manipulation.

well seeing as how there is so little meat, theyre mostly bone and tough muscle, it kind of goes without saying, you know? you'd need at least 6, cooked by someone with expertise, to fill even one person, and im talking someone that doesnt need to eat much. And as a tip for anyone interested, stay away, and i mean STAY AWAY from the tails. Not only do they harbor more germs than any other part when cooked, but they are almost impossible to chew through and have absolutely NO nutritional value. I wouldnt recommend it even if you were starving.
and whats this chicken talk? what does a chicken have anything to do with this movie?
theres nothing i hate more than a message board that goes off topic.
oh hey benathy, check out Radio, it looks almost as good as men of honor.

i cannot believe that someone thinks this is a terrible movie. It is a fantastic film even though im english i loved it, Cuba's acting along with Bobby de niro's was immense.

Think of how many movies are out by now....they have been comeing out forever. It is extremely difficult to come out with something new and original by now. And yes we have seen the underdog win many times, but there are onloy two ways it can end. He can win or he can lose and we've seen him lose many times also. I thought this was a good movie and had great acting. It was my favorite gooding performance and I'm not a fan of his...

This movie is a pice of *beep*. A waste of good actors and a good story. Perhaps the director wasn´t the right one.
