What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stocked with leading men who look the part but lacking an iota of original plot, Annapolis is merely a watery shadow of superior seafaring military dramas.

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

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

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

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

thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 14 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Alfonso C Apr 25 A bad 'remake' of «An Officer and A Gentleman» See more Shay C 09/17/2023 I remember this movie on all the time when I was a kid. My family would watch it together over and over. It's pretty good. I suppose it's not very original, but seeing as I have no other reference, that works for me. See more 08/11/2022 This was a dismal, embarrassing and juvenile attempt at filmmaking from virtual every possible angle. The sole enjoyable moment of the movie was Vicellous Shannon's line about being not only the president of his weight-gain club, but also a client. The plotline was disjointed and indecisive. Presented as a military seafaring story, it quickly devolved into a bizarre amalgam of "Full Metal Jacket" meets "Rocky" littered with good actors doing terrible jobs, each acting as if they were delivering soliloquys in a high school chamber theater production starring only themselves. Cliche and predictable. I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. See more 04/06/2021 It's like this movie was written by someone who attended the Naval Academy for their boxing program, dropped out from too many concussions then finished his undergrad at an online film school See more 09/20/2020 Pathetic. Cheap banal moral for minus habens. Probably it was written by a 4 years old hillbilly, See more Read all reviews
