Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along

During the last class session we watched the film Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along. It was a pretty good film for the most part. However, a few times during the film, the actors almost appeared as if they were trying a little too hard. During the film it was hard to differentiate between if the writer was trying to demonstrate sadness or if he was just trying to win a few good laughs. During the film Dr. horrible has this big crush on this girl that he frequently sees at the laundry mat name Penny, but he never gets to talk to her. So when he finally gets the chance to make a good impression on her, he was so busy worrying about his evil plan to steal the van, that he blew it and his plan pretty much backfire and he almost ran her over with that same van and to add insult to injury, his worst enemy Captain Hammer comes to save Penny’s life and then she finally falls in love with him. Though Captain Hammer was supposed to be the hero in the film and the good guy, he appeared to be very egocentric and acted as if he was bully. The way the writer wrote this film you begin to fall in love with Dr. Horrible, even though he is portrayed as the villain. Me personally I wanted Dr. Horrible to achieve out of this hatred I grew to have for Captain Hammer as the film continued, I was cheering for the bad guy. I found a lot of different scenes to be funny in the film, one that stood out was when Penny was introducing captain Hammer to Dr. Horrible in the laundry mat and Captain Horrible made this comment about his hammer and he came back to verify to Dr. Horrible exactly what he meant by his hammer.
