Dr. Horrible


Yesterday’s class started off looking like it was going to be no fun, but turned out to actually be a time. The Dr. Horrible movie didn’t start out as funny as I thought it would but then it took off and turned out to be really funny. The movie did a good job of building the main character as a ruthless, evil genius that wanted to take over the world. Once the movie watcher starts to believe this is the main character, he turns out to have a crush on a girl at the local laundry mat. He turns out to be too shy to even approach her and even speak to her. This makes you start to think that maybe the main character is actually really nerdy and not the angry man that wants to take over the world.
It turns out that all of Dr. Horrible evil plans to take over the world end up back firing against him. For example, when he tries to get the suit case out of the van, he ends up having his arch nemesis named captain hammer to show up and save the girl he is in love with. Thus causing her to fall in love with captain hammer and make Dr. Horrible to become upset. Then later in the story he actually starts to talk to the girl that he has been in love with all this time. Captain Hammer comes to the laundry mat and tells Dr. Horrible about his relationship with the girl. This causes Dr. Horrible to become very upset and make up his mind that he is now going to kill Captain Hammer. When he tries to kill him, it ends up that the gun explodes and kills the woman that he has been in love with all this time.
This movie did a great job of characterization, by making the characters very round and having great depth.
