Description of Iron Will:
A complete lack of imagination is what qualifies this as a B movie. Thankfully, this snowy adventure about a boy and his dogs is charming enough to entice the kiddies. Charismatic MacKenzie Astin plays a teenager trying to save the family farm by entering a 522-mile sled-dog marathon. Except for Astin, the lusciously scenic background has more depth than most of the characters. This is so predictable you could take a nap and miss nothing except a few rousing scenes in the 1917 Winnipeg-to-St.-Paul sled race. Although this is visually more appealing than most family fare, one wishes more attention had been paid to the script. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Iron Will Reviews:
the will power 
2009-08-26 - the first time i saw this film was in the summer of 1993 or 94,i think.? it's been more than fifteen years now and when i searched for this in amazon, i knew i just had to buy it. my 2 children ages 9 and 6 love the dogs and i'm pretty sure as they grow, they'll like the story too. i rate this movie 5 stars because i like to think that everyone has its own challenges in life and when you're just odds with everything but still you have that feeling that no matter what, you know that you can and if it feels right, then you are victorious.
Awesome movie!
2009-04-28 - I really enjoyed watching this movie with my family. It makes you laugh, cry, get mad, and cheer. It's well worth watching again.

2009-02-13 - An amazing story!
The toughest man of all! Really makes me into tears
Dog sledding is a tradition, but also a competition.
I like dog sledding, but I more like the spirit, the spirit of the north, the spirit of never giving up, the spirit of always taking the lead.
The best movie ever!
2009-02-10 - We have had this movie on VHS for several years and now we have it on DVD. It will always be in our movie library. It is one of our top family favorites and we love to show it to those who have not seen it before. Everyone loves it and we never mind seeing it over and over. It's based on a true-life story. It's adventurous and inspiring. Awesome movie!
