Annapolis has the seeds of a good, if derivative, film in it, but gives that up in favor of being a mediocre boxing film.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 28, 2010

This military drama never gets moving. Just mainly posturing by all sides concerned. The screenplay was definitely missing in action. Paul Chambers, CNN.

| Original Score: D+ | Apr 3, 2010

Character development and narrative substance are absent in this wispy movie about beefcake and getting a knack for teamwork in an oppressive atmosphere.

| Original Score: D+ | Apr 15, 2009

What Annapolis really is, more than a college movie or a boot-camp movie, is a boxing movie, and a run of the mill one at that.

Annapolis throws the same punches as many of its inspirational fellow cadets and almost, but not quite, wins the fight.

...basically a military-recruitment commercial.

If you like cliches, you'll love Annapolis.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 26, 2006

The innumerable "saw it coming" plot contrivances begin to stack up like so much cinematic cord wood.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 29, 2006

...if you haven't seen many other military movies or sports movies or underdog movies, Annapolis may not be as mundane for you as it was for me.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 28, 2006

It's a pleasure to watch James Franco and Tyrese Gibson square off against each other as two men heading for a showdown.

| Jun 26, 2006

It's never less than excruciatingly predictable, unintentionally funny and dripping with moldy clichs.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 12, 2006

Everything about Annapolis feels artificial.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 17, 2006

Annapolis is a good film basically because it's not a bad film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2006

This film had very little on its mind other than making sure that the 12-to-14 year old girls who went to see it would be impressed enough to tell their MySpace friends about it.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 10, 2006

"Sir, no, sir!" That's what you should shout if someone tries to convince you that Annapolis is a realistic portrait of the hallowed institution that trains Navy and Marine officers.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 4, 2006

Best never to have left dry dock with this one.
