Dr. Horrible and his nonsense movie

Dr. Horrible’s sing along blog is probably one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen. It was about a mad scientist and I mean he was a MAD scientist. He was a wannabe mad villain who broke out in random songs. For instance, when he reads a blog post about the girl he keeps hinting towards he ends up breaking out into another song about his girl Penny. It transforms into another scene of him at the Laundromat admiring Penny from afar. His change of heart makes you think he’s a good guy but yet he turns around and goes on his rampage about his hate for Captain Hammer. At times I couldn’t really keep up with this storyline especially the random songs with cowboys popping out of nowhere. While some of it was comical, I felt like I was watching Bill Nye the science guy except he happened to have an arch rival and love interest. I wouldn’t watch this again because I didn’t really connect with the scenes but I did see the connection with all the other stories I have read. The connection is this; every story is always based around love and death. This movie wasn’t any different. At the end because of Dr. Horrible’s mistake, Penny ended up getting murdered. The hate Dr. Horrible had for Captain
Hammer ended up coinciding with his love Penny which resulted in her death. This was very tragic but at the same time the way they portrayed it seemed kind of comical. A lot of people may like this kind of thing but for me I have a hard time watching this because I just see at as a jumble of music and emotions that don’t even fit each other. This movie may have been appreciated by others but I didn’t find it to be worthwhile.

  1. Yeah..I definitely did not understand the cowboys popping out of nowhere either. Random... but that may be the point. And I love that you compare him to Bill Nye! Nice!
