'Dr. Horrible' isn't really all that bad...

Neil Patrick Harris, better known as N.P.H by comedic fanboys alike, starred in Josh Whedon's 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog', a musical whose story revolves around a would-be evil villain hell bent on global domination through his inventions.

Through the length of the film, you find out that Dr. Horrible isn't that bad of a guy. For an aspiring super-villain, Dr. Horrible seems as ordinary as they come... he just happens to know how to build freeze rays. He documents his accomplishments and failures; mostly failures, via web-cam, and posts them on an unknown blog site.

One could watch Patrick's character and pity him. Though he would love to have the world fall to its knees and bow to him as its master, there's is only one other thing that would make his life complete; Penny (Felicia Day), his philanthropist laundry mat fantasy. The nerd-like Dr. Horrible acts socially awkward around her until his nemesis, the 'oh so' arrogant Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), puts penny in his super-sights...of love!

The love triangle escalates to a climax once identities are revealed and things get a lil' ugly between Horrible and Hammer. The songs were pretty damn good for an hour long musical, and the story goes in a direction that many would think would go towards the end.

I can honestly say I enjoyed this film. I mean it's N.P.H, if you don't love him then f*ck you guy! What was most appealing about this film was Harris' role as the evil scientist Dr. Horrible. Though the movie was a straight shot comedy, it touched on a few nodes of emotion, especially when it came to "rescuing" Penny from the clutches of Captain Hammer, who if you ever see the movie, is a real deautch-bag of a hero. Maybe he just reminds of any stand out jock who played in any film made since 1985.

The nerd in you roots for the Dr. Horrible, and based on the personalities of the characters, seems like an anti-hero more than anything else. Think Peter Parker, but instead of amazing spider powers, this guy shoots people with death rays. I mean, Penny was a red head, not the most attractive, but still kind of cute in that "save me, save me" kind of way. In all, 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog' is definitely worth the watch. Between N.P.H hitting high notes while clutching a freeze ray, and the not so steamy love scenes, it's a pretty good way to pass an hour. I highly recommend it, and if you're under the influence, well then it'll only be that much better!
