Beijing felt like a party.
This feels like history class on a rainy day.
There should have been some bloody Tower of London re-enactments or some drawrings & quarterings.
Oh look! The Industrial Revolution! Yay!.....hmmmmm....
And they definitely should have played Bowie's Suffragette City during that bit.
This event already happened.

All I know is that Rio will be 1000 times better than this.
Like Carnival and the beach mixed together.
One ring to rule them all!

Not live.
you Yanks have no imagination
The Industrial Revolution happened in the 1800's... London has since held the Olympics. It is not only boring but makes no sense. They should just throw out some fireworks and have British performers play some music.

You brits have no fun.
What were you expecting? A sort of Spanish Inquisition?
Yes, the Spanish Inquisition, done by these Brits would have been better. Brit humor at it's finest.

We gave you what you wanted.. not to like it
They should have had a it like last time- exactly the same a big dumb party. They parachuted the Queen in what more do you want?
That whole beginning with a bunch of Abe Lincoln impersonators prancing around a mini-golf course was a bit strange. But they totally lost me when they followed that with an apparent tribute to air pollution. I mean, WTF? At least the Queen's entrance was somewhat entertaining.
Deaf children singing. Cool. Are they also doing a special marathon for 4:00 + hour finishers?
I'm watching it on NBC right now...and of course they pause the tape for long commercials. But it gives me no pleasure to report that it is indeed a very lame opening ceremony, far surpassed by Beijing's.
My wife flipped out in disgust when she saw the Queen's entrance.
People actually watch the opening ceremony? Why? You knew there wouldn't be any actual athletic events happening during the ceremony, right?
Haha. Insecure Americans.
Its getting really exciting now. They just brought out doctors and nurses from the National Health Service. I'm thrilled I tell ya.
