The Dark Knight. The Incredible Hulk. Iron Man.
What action film could be more anticipated and more cheesy than those three combined?
The answer is "Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog. " It stars Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, and Nathan Fillion as his arch nemesis, Captain Hammer. The film comes in three parts and is about 40 minutes long. It was written and directed by Joss Whedon, the genius behind the Buffy tv series and Firefly. It was available online for free up until last weekend but you can purchase it off of iTunes and a DVD is expected to be out soon with extras. And if you are wondering, the answer is yes, I bought it. It was too good to not be able to watch it over and over again.
The plot of the film is fairly basic, Dr. Horrible is a b-list evil genius who is trying to take over the world but falls in love with the cute girl at the laundromat. Add a cheesy superhero, Captain Hammer, who thwarts Horrible's every move and you have a fun flick. Add multiple musical numbers and it's just freaking awesome.
