Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long

I must admit this was pretty funny, I may not have liked all the singing bits, but that's just because I am not that into musicals. The small film/blog seemed to be making fun of itself, and that was what made it funny. When the movie started I was just like what the heck is this and why is he making us watch it, but then I figured out how great it was, but I still don;t know why you chose that for us to watch. I cannot see really an connection to literature besides the going against the norm in story line. It is rare though to be cheering for the bad guy, Dr. Horrible, and against the good guy, Captain Hammer. Even though most people would not like the ending, I did like the fact that nothing turned out the way he wanted it. He had to give up on his love to make way for another one of his loves, which is crime. I think my favorite thing about the story is the concept. This idiot of a scientist who can create anything apparently can't make himself a laundry machine, and talks about his feelings on a video blog. He even is dub enough to announce his plans on the Internet to everyone, including the police and his nemesis Captain Hammer. This also went outside the realm of normal superhero comic book story lines, because there was no real punishments for the crimes that he committed. He just beat Captain Hammer and killed some woman, but the police just clean up the place and do nothing. It was like the superheros and super villains just dealt with each other, and the rest of society was there to spectate. With the weird storyline and plot holes I still really liked it and was glad I watched it.
