Leave your thoughts about Iron Will.
| Common Sense MediaCommon Sense Media EditorsComing-of-age tale for older kids and teens. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranNot as slick as “Free Willy” or as sophisticated as “Searching for Bobby Fischer,” this is a throwback to the sweet and sentimental Disney family films that Walt himself loved, a live-action fairy tale about a boy, his dogs and a darn tough race. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomA solid, old-fashioned adventure yarn; nothing special but decent entertainment. |
| The Associated PressPatricia BibbyIn between its hokey setup and its overwrought climax, Disney's dog-sledding adventure Iron Will is brisk and involving and surprisingly adult, its cinematic strength drawn mainly from the beauty of panting teams of huskies muscling their way across snowy landscapes. Which is a sight you can never grow tired of. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallA solid meat and potatoes film. Like the land itself, there are no frills, and the cinematography by William Wages is commendable. But, someone should tell the filmmakers that there probably weren't any big mountains outside of St. Paul, even in 1917. |
| Austin ChronicleHollis ChaconaDriving home with all the windows down, I, for once, relished the bumps on South Lamar and leaned into the curves along Pease Park and, home at last, gave my trusty, tired old Honda a grateful, affectionate pat on its overheated hood. |
| Portland OregonianGeoffrey ArnoldIron Will is an Identikit plot, put together out of standard pieces. Even the scenery looks generic; there's none of the majesty of Disney's genuinely inspired dog movie, "White Fang." |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinDespite this lively history, the material seldom rises above the level of upbeat platitudes. |
| Baltimore SunStephen HunterSo pleased is this film with its own sanctimony that children forced to sit through it may end up joining gangs, defacing the walls at Bible school, and questioning their parents' sincerity. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIron Will's presentation of family values and reliance upon formulas are distinctive. The film has enough action to keep it from becoming boring, but there are too many flaws for this to be considered anything more grand than adequate entertainment. |
