E! Online Reviews Dr Horrible
[For full review see link below]
Kirstin from E! Online reports after attending the Dr. Horrible Press Screening…
It’s not much of a tease, but you’d be tight-lipped too if you’d been at last night’s premiere screening for the cast and crew, where Joss asked us reporter types to defy our natural busybody tendencies and help protect the story of the show. (Seriously, can anyone say no to Joss?)
So what I can tell you is that Dr. Horrible is an hour-and-fifteen-minute-long show shot specifically for the Web, and it will make you want to jump through the screen and hand Neil, Joss and Nathan a lifetime supply of Emmys, Webbies, Grammys or whatever it is you give to guys who like to sing about being superheroes and supervillains. I totally loved it…
… Not only is the music fiercely catchy, I can also tell you that Felicia sings (and looks) like an angel; Nathan is hilarious and vocally strong; and to the shock of absolutely no one, including the isolated Yanomamo tribe in Brazil, Neil Patrick Harris just kills it. In general, there’s a catchy quality to the lyrics (being full, as they are, of funny rhymes and smart metaphors) that is definitely reminiscent of “Once More, With Feeling.” For the record, Barney himself testifies that the music sticks with you, no matter who sings it. ”Before we started I [got] some scratch tracks that [the writers] had sung already, and I couldn’t stop listening to them…I think the songs are just great.”

I should watch Kirstin more. She must have good tastes. (I haven’t been a real big E! fan so far.)

July 18th, 2008 at 10:27 pmIf Kirstin is right, than Part III should be about 45 minutes long! Which would be weird, but not surprising as the first two parts were split pretty well.
