Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
blackvyper A movie about the horrors, rigors and racism of men crossing the North Pole. The basically unknown story of Matthew Henson who has almost been forgotten from history as the co-discoverer of the North Pole simply because of his race. I think it's about time that history starts being reported for what it really is and not what a biased society of the times wants to perceive it. Delroy Lindo gives an excellent portrayal of Matthew Henson who's ability to co-habitat and communicate with the natives allows he and Perry to reach what was once unreachable. Our nation has great discovers and inventors who should not simply be forgotten because they were of a different race. The struggle and anonymity Matthew Henson endured after his trek should never have happened. This movie does a very good job in reminding us that we are a nation of adventurers.. Black and White.
yenlo While the TNT originals are not always the greatest films ever made for TV they do have some of the better stories for made for TV films. Glory & Honor essentially about Robert Pearys black assistant Mathew Henson is such a movie. Henson who was as important a figure as Peary in the quest for the North Pole was for years ignored for his accomplishments, dedication and hard work. This film pays honor to Henson and rightfully so.
Ioannis This film pays tribute to Mathew Henson which is at last recognized along with Robert Peary as the first two explorers to reach North Pole. Henson's contribution was recognized in 1988 by the National Geographic Society. His skin color (black), prevented his name to appear side-by-side to Peary's for a long time...
CharltonBoy Glory and Honor is a watchable movie without actually being very memorable. It is a story about the relationship between an American explorer and his Black partner/servant and their battles to reach the North pole.Dont expect too much from this film apart from an average film. ( the frost bite scene with the toes is horrible so be warned!.) 6 out of 10
