Oh, this was absolutely terrible. I can't believe I was feeling guilty for not watching this all these years.
Hated this short film despite liking musicals as a rule.
The show's quirky sense of humor, catchy songs, and creative production values have earned it a devoted cult following. The performances are excellent, with Harris delivering a standout turn as the lovable yet villainous Doctor Horrible, and the supporting cast of Day and Nathan Fillion providing strong support. The series also benefits from Whedon's signature wit and flair for genre storytelling, as well as its inventive use of the web format to create a truly unique viewing experience. The only downside of the show is that it's relatively short, with only three episodes that each run for around 15 minutes. Nonetheless, "Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" is a fun, inventive, and highly entertaining series that is definitely worth a watch, especially for fans of musicals and superhero stories.
This has been on my watchlist for years and I finally watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like Joss Wheadon's work or Neil Patrick Harris or Nathan Fillion or Felicia Day - then this is a MUST see short.
A Whedon family (Joss, Zack, Jed plus Maurissa Tancharoen) web extravaganza (available on DVD), a musical. Perfect cast (Nathan Fillion, Felicia Day, Neill Patrick Harris and Simon Helberg). Typically Joss, bizarre story line. Nothing but off-the-wall farce. I give this web series a 7 (good) out of 10. [Musical Super Hero Farce]
Truth be told I'm not fond of musicals, but was not the first time I saw Dr. Horrible yesterday. With every time I rewatch it I feel that I notice a new layer or I get to know a new interpretation of it.
This time I perceived how freely could tell you about masculinity and in connection with that turned the general super hero movie tropes upside down, basically the status quo. Pun intended.
Over the years we used to that villains in super hero movies are like big, bad, cocky and extrovert guys whose ultimate agenda to rule the world no matter what, and basically that's it no more background's added. Now, in this series Dr. Horrible, who should be the villain, is a timorous and shy guy who doesn't want a substantial role in history, just a little appreciation from his evil idols. He's a background character nothing else, although he acts like he counts. He can't stand up for himself and can't show his true feelings, but when he realizes that a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do it leads to a tragic ending.
Captain Hammer is the one whose features represent a villain. He sells himself as a nice guy in order to everyone likes him but when the right time comes his true self comes to the surface as he disses homeless people or when he finds himself against Dr. Horrible. In that scene his masculinity disappears in a heartbeat.
I also certainly ought to add up its soundtrack is amazing and every time you watch it always a treat.
