Let's be realistic.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The moment which I started watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog I didn't know what to expect, but right from the start with Dr. Horrible's introduction and the first song "My Freeze Ray", I knew that this short film would have something unique. With such a pleasant story and characters who create a link with audience very quickly as they're so amusing and funny, along with charming musical videos during the entire movie, it's very hard to not like the show. Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible is fantastic, his character easily gains the public's sympathy even though he's the villain. Captain Hammer is played by Nathan Fillion, he's the nemesis of Dr. Horrible, the hero of the story, but who has ideals not so heroics. Felicia Day plays Penny, an innocent girl, who in somehow will be part of the world of these two men. Beneath Dr. Horrible's costume, there's a guy madly in love that when his passion is near he turns out to be very shy and clumsy, despite being a villain, it's hard to not root for him. Captain Hammer is the so- called hero, from the outside he might be, but from inside he's selfish, arrogant. This exchange of personalities between hero and villain was so interesting as we're so used to the opposite.

Okay, I am going to put this lightly: This is literally the stupidest "film" I have ever watched.The plot is hard to follow, it starts slow, the "humor" in it is not funny whatsoever, it's all perverted, childish, or dumb. If you actually appreciate decent musicals, don't watch this. It's a waste of time. I honestly don't know why the reviews are so high. The characters are not at all personable, it's extremely slow, cheesy, boring, and not interesting or engaging. My friend made me watch it with her and I wasted 42 minutes of my life. The acting sucked too. Definitely not worth your time or money. Skip this and watch a good film.

This is my first taste of pure Whedon after watching The Avengers and a bit of Firefly which didn't grab me. The first act of Dr. Horrible is just incredible storytelling, especially in setting up the creative world, the conflicts and the inner conflicts. Very inspirational, in particular how it works in all these little payoffs within the buildup. It has a fantastic pace and a real witty affection in the writing. However, it does have a very sloppy production, even for an internet series, I noticed a lot of boom shadow and reflections which were quite distracting, as did the moments where it felt like the actors hearts weren't really in it, or maybe it's just really hard to get the perfect lip sync take.The second act was even funnier, developing the concept in a better twisted way. It doesn't have the structure of the first act, with a slower pace and looser scenes, that keeps it tight and engaging, but the character interaction makes it worth it. Act three was mostly good for Nathan Fillion's character's arrogance and the cast's improved confidence with the singing, particularly Neil Patrick Harris. But I found myself somewhat disappointed by the ending, even if it was just to set it up for a sequel, as it didn't seem like an adequate payoff for what it set up. If it had kept the pace and restraint of the first act, with the spirit of the latter acts, then it could have been a lot better, especially with the fantastic concept. Maybe production value and more time will allow this project to grow in future carnations. 7/10

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has an interesting story line that can be enjoyed by all people. Don't let the title scare you off, it might not seem the most entertaining but you'll be in for a treat. The movie has many different aspects to it that make it very entertaining. There are also a few elements that could be broken down in this film; they would be colors, the characters, and the setting. Pathos was also a big element of this film that can't be ignored. The film Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog can be enjoyed by all ages because of its interesting storyline and appealing characters. The setting for this movie revolves around the main character, Dr. Horrible. He is either filming a blog for his views, acting as an evil villain, or doing his laundry with Penny. Penny is a woman that Dr. Horrible has a huge crush on but doesn't know how to talk to her. The catchy tunes that they sing throughout the movie will get stuck in your head but you won't mind, they are very enjoyable. There is also another interesting character, Captain Hammer. He takes the place of a hero since Dr. Horrible is presumably the villain even though you don't view him that way. You probably won't view Captain Hammer has the hero but as a villain. This is because of pathos, the appeal using emotion. The audience is more emotionally attached to Dr. Horrible than Captain Hammer because Hammer can be seen as a woman stealer since he took Penny away from Dr. Horrible. Colors are also an interesting aspect in this film. Dr. Horrible wears a white lab coat for most of the movie while Captain Hammer wears predominately black clothing. White signifies the innocence of Dr. Horrible and the black expresses the evil in which Hammer possesses. Then after something catastrophic and unpredictable happens Horrible wears a red lab coat instead of the white one. Red is the color that expresses love and passion so I believe he's wearing a red coat to show he lost something that he loved. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog will take you on an eventful ride and captivate you from the very beginning. It has romance, comedy, and action which will peak the interest of any viewer. This film also won't disappoint if you enjoy watching the characters use different technology throughout the film. It establishes pathos which will appeal to your emotions more and more as you get further into the movie. The storyline and setting are very interesting along with the characters and very good acting. I'd recommend this film to anyone who is looking for a good laugh, a romance, or an action packed movie.
