Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog - Act II
By fred | July 17, 2008
Yes, we’re already July 17 and as a direct result we get to see Part II of Joss Whedon’s genius Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog !!
And after the messy troubles that got in the way for the first part (unavailable to non-US resident at first, then technical difficulties due to massive demand…) now things should be running pretty smoothly. I just went and go my fix, and the only one thing I could possibly sad about this thing so far that wouldn’t be enchanting, is that it’s way too damn short!
Just like after the first act, you feel like it’s only been on for a few seconds when it’s in fact close to 15 minutes later, and it’s over already. And it’s heartbreaking, because this web-musical or whatever you want to call it is simply genius !!
Sure, Neil Patrick Harris is awesome, we all knew that, and he’s proving it without a doubt once again here, but I think everyone is perfect : NPH is the perfect anti-hero, a villain you root for, Felicia Day looks as cute as she needs to, she feels helpless and fragile, while Nathan Fillion is a pitch-perfect egotistical, self-involved comic-book super-hero, and the whole thing just make you feel so good. Not to forget the funny, cause it’s freaking hilarious!
Whether you’re a fan of Whedon or not doesn’t really matter, you cannot not fall in love with this little thing, charming and refreshing, funny yet filled with evil. I don’t know if this was an impression of mine or a reality, but I felt like there was a bit more singing in this one, and I liked it. The story keeps moving along nicely, all in singing, and while it may be filled with your typical superhero clichés, no one cares because it is supposed to be that way, everything & everyone is perfect, except that, once again, it’s too damn short!
There’s a reason Dr Horrible is the number 2 most-downloaded TV shows on iTunes right now (first in Sci-Fi/Fantasy category), the server crashed yesterday, and everyone is talking about it : it’s awesome. I’m saving those files for later viewings, as they won’t stay online for very long, but I can’t wait for the upcoming DVD filled with extras that we’ve been promised.
In the mean time, if you haven’t already or just to watch it again, time to head over DrHorrible.com right now for the second act! And remember the Saturday comes the third and final act. Don’t miss any, cause it’s really great - and will be gone by Sunday! Then ome back to share here how much you love this thing, I mean you do love it, don’t you?
