I'd give it a 4/5 anyway.
Here's another one for you :)

Spoiler: 
Whole city affected by EMP.... NO TV, phone, cars (apart from teh one that got fixed) BUT they still find a working camcorder :)

I thought it was very good, lots of good jumpy bits,

The initial sequence with the first tripod was excellent, although I wasn't quite happy with the way the tripods got there. This was not explained enough.

Lots of good scenes from the old film updated into the new one. It did end quickly but I don't see how they could have done it differently.

On the whole very good.

I'm looking forward to the others (although I know they are much smaller budget films)

Agreed - i noticed that one (even thought about it before they showed it) - and.....

Spoiler: 
there was a perfect path out of the rubble that they could use to drive away on too.

I don't think John Hurt did a voice over, Richard Burton did the voice over/Narrator for WOTW

He did on the Jeff Wayne LP, and it's Morgan Freeman in the Speilberg film.

You must have a differnet copy of the CD to the rest of us, but I note you from Horsell so may have inside information ;)
Is that the 1978 or the 1995 CD ?

I only recognise Burton as the journalist/narrator on my copy

Re: War of the worlds
 
I meant Burton

david Essex did the soilders voice, and sung brave new world. I think I might go and listen to it again.

Have you got the 2005cd?

It's still a brilliant piece of work, even after all this time.

Unfortunatly, I think the only thing that lets the whole thing down for me, is david essex's voice as the soldier, something about it, very unconvincing.
Still since J.W. was his producer at the time fairly envitable he'd be on it
