Movie Review – Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (2008) – 4 Stars

When you give the mind of Joss Whedon a clean slate upon which to produce a short serial, ‘Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog’ is what you get. These are the musical adventures of Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) as he attempts to conquer his Super Hero nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion); and Billy (Horrible’s alter-ego) as he attempts to woo the heart-of-gold Penny (Felicia Day). It’s light hearted, very funny, and features a swag of characters that you can’t help but love. This is Whedon pushing the envelope of what’s accepted as normal on film, and I like it.
