I finally watched (and bought) "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog". It is an evil work of horrible awesomeness! :D I was anxious to watch the mini-series ever since I heard about it. I'm a big Joss Whedon fan and love musicals. The "blog" satisfied me on both counts.
The characters are hilarious and endearing; the viewer can't help but fall in love with Dr. Horrible. Nathan Fillion makes a stunning performance as the egotistical anti-hero and Felicia Day proves she's leading lady material. All three give fantastic displays vocal talent. Joss shows he's no dummy when it comes to casting. Look out for the renown, yet highly talented Liz Vassey in Act Three.
My favorite song is, "Slipping": Dr. Horrible's insightful ode about society and his evilness. Also enjoyed "Brand New Day", Horrible's rocking revenge song. Both of these songs reminded me of Sweeney Todd due to the the speed singing and dark lyrics. I can't help but love the evilness.
"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" can be summed up in one sentence : A musical odyssey about one man's dream to become a super villain." If you are a Whedon fan or love musicals or like to hear the villain's side of the story or all of the above, you MUST watch this show!
