The world at the moment does not suffer from a shortage of superheros.And yet in some ways the glut of anti-evil crusaders with cool costumes and troubled souls takes the pressure off of Iron Man,which clanks into theaters today ahead of Hellboy,Batman and Incredible Hulk.This summer those guys are all in sequels or redos,so Iron Man (a Marvel property not to be confused with the Man of Steel,who belongs to DC and who's taking a break this year)has the advantage of novelty in addition to a seasonal head start.And Iron Man,directed by Jon Favreau,has the advantage of being an unusally good superhero picture.Or at least--since it certainly has its problems--a superhero movie that's good in unusual ways.The film benefits from a script that generally chooses clever dialogue over manufactured catchphrases and lumbering exposition,and also from a crackerjack cast that accepts the filmmakers' invitation to do some real acting rather than just flex and glower and shriek for a paycheck.
