MOVIE REVIEW: 'Iron Man 3' Kick Starts Summer Movie Season
'Iron Man 3' is playing this weekend.
Robert Downey Jr. and gang are back for the third "Iron Man" installment. "Iron Man 3" is rated PG-13 and runs two hours and 20 minutes. Find movies playing in Cartersville by using our Moviefone locator above. Here's what the critics are saying: This weekend, the summer movie season kicks off in spectacular fashion . . . with Disney and Marvel's "Iron Man 3."
