what did you think of the opening ceremonies?

Re: what did you think of the opening ceremonies?

  • I caught about 1 hour on Friday night (which I thought it was good) and then about 45 minutes of the end of on Saturday morning (it was repeated at 2 a.m. in the morning).

  • I thought it was awful. The only parts I liked were the Daniel Craig bit and Mr. Bean. And even those seemed oddly placed in the ceremony.  I still need to watch the ending though. I saw up until the beginning of the parade of nations.

    the stuff they did after the parade of nations was pretty cool.

    I didn't catch the parade of nations, but I did catch the end. I liked it. Mr. Bean was my favorite.

  • I hated the first hour! The whole industrial revolution, grassy knoll, etc. was terrible I thought.  It might not have been terrible, but it just didn't match up to Bejing at all.  Once the kids started dancing, then things picked up. Ending with "Hey Jude" was brilliant. 

     

    You know things are bad when one of the highlights are Mr. Bean!  

  • Forgot my worst gripe, the asinine commentary by Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera during the entire opening - just awful.
