"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog", the Emmy-Award winning musical, is about an aspiring super villain struggling to be a member of the Evil League of Evil. The series was on TIME's Best Inventions of 2008 list, "The Direct-to-Web Supervillain Musical". We have to admit that we expected another boring musical (just like those high school kids), but Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) delivered an awesome lead role. The story follows Dr. Horrible, a low budget villain, who has a crush on Penny The Laundry Mat Girl, portrayed by Felicia Day. Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), the narcissistic super-hero and Dr. Horrible's enemy, creates a dilemma when Penny is rescued by Captain Hammer and falls in love with him.
It's usually awkward when comedy films try to capture a serious or dramatic scene, but this musical was hilarious and heart breaking (we're not going to tell you why). Only a handful of movies have actually succeeded in this attempt. The only negative feedback we give to this short film is that it is difficult to know what's going on and why the first minutes of the video. Without background information, the viewer is lost in the beginning. With or without its flaws, we highly recommend you check it out. Below is link to watch all three episodes online. Your welcome.
Enjoy it for me while I cram for a test a don't need to take...
