TubeFilter Reviews Dr. Horrible

Check the link below for the full review!

…here’s the lowdown on the DVD, of which I was lucky enough to get an early copy to rip apart ruthlessly. I’ll try not to give away too much, especially those well-placed easter eggs since half the fun is finding them.

Joss Whedon – creator of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along BlogJoss rallied the cast together to create heaps of new material making the DVD much more than an afterthought, and instead an extension of the Dr. Horrible experience and a must-have for even the casual fans. Stars Felicia Day, Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Simon Helberg all worked almost as much on the DVD as the series itself. And creator-producers Joss, his brothers Jed and Zack Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen are all over the special features and commentary…

In the end, it’s ABC Family that’s left scratching their heads wondering why they passed on this one after hearing the pitch, leaving Joss to go it alone and self-fund the production. And the DVD is a crowning homage to something bigger than the 42 minute superhero musical, perhaps to the evolution of a movement. After watching, you can’t help but reflect on the power and reach of the Dr. Horrible experience. Creators can now connect directly with fans on their own terms. Give it away for free online? Sure, why not. This is going to change everything, or perhaps it already has.

Joss Whedon Reviews Dr. Horrible

… I found Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog quite rewarding, which is to say, if you buy it, I will be rewarded with a small sum of money. But what’s in it for you? A few surprises, I won’t lie. THE SECRET OF ETERNAL YOUTH. The Dark Knight doesn’t have that, does it? A CONTROLLING INTEREST IN EUROPE. Not available with Mama Mia! BEES. Deadly, hideous bees are contained in certain shipments, sorry. We’re trying to control that. But already, a pretty extraordinary disc.

The film itself I didn’t really get. Apparently young people today think it’s okay to make fun of supervillains. In my day we treated them with respect and fear, especially when they were singing. I did like the jokes, except when one man mentioned his secret love appendage to another, which I find crass. But the tunes are very hummable, and many of them ran through my head as I fell asleep before the ending, which I’ll bet was a humdinger. In fact, the whole movie humdinged. I give it forty eight billion stars.

The extras (Eternal life, Europe, Bees) were mostly exciting. There is a whole second musical, called “Commentary!”, which harkens back to the days of Radio and of writing things really poorly. I can’t recommend it enough. (That should read “I can’t recommend it. Enough!” Sorry.) Seriousfully, it’s not so much a commentary as chance for the cast and writers to make fun of each other in every musical style possible. I give it forty eight billion stars.

The extra extras are all solid fun, especially the many applications to the Evil League of Evil, sent by people who know how to show a supervillain the proper respect…

TV Week Reviews Dr. Horrible

TV Week’s “Blink” reviews Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

…The Daily Blink was able to secure an advanced copy, popped that sucker in and immediately thought her DVD player was broken….

You know who’s not a hero? The ten lucky evil fans whose Evil League of Evil application videos made it onto the DVD. If ever there was evidence of Joss Whedon’s huge global fan base, it’s in the ELE video submissions, which come from all over the world and feature a minute-long list of Dishonorable Mentions.

Among the extras: a “Making of Dr. Horrible” featurette, with writers/Whedon brothers Joss, Jed and Zack and Maurissa Tancharoen, as well as actors Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, talking about the movie, the music and the project’s reception…

…there are two commentary tracks, including a regular one (stick around through the credits when it takes a slightly R-rated turn) and one composed of nearly 42 minutes of brand-new original songs. Sure makes you feel like a slacker, doesn’t it?

The whole gang is back for “Commentary! The Musical,” which deserves its own iTunes release, as are Moist and Groupies #2 and #3.

The decidedly more goofy and genre-jumping “Commentary!” recalls the “Buffy” musical episode “Once More With Feeling.” It jumps from Mr. Fillion singing about how much better he is than Mr. Harris to Zack “Black Sheep” Whedon rapping (check out the video on the TV Week website) to a ballad from Groupie #2 and Mr. Harris, which gives the Harris-Day duet “My Eyes” a run for its money. All that and it still manages to offer some commentary on the AMPTP-WGA deal…

The Daily Blink also hears there are some Easter eggs on the DVD, but wasn’t savvy enough to find them. So, gentle readers, please be sure to come back here when you get your DVD and help the Daily Blink out.
