I love watching the olympics since I was little, since 2008 in Beijing. I personally think Paris opening ceremony was one of the best I’ve seen.

It was really creative, and they thought outside the box. The artists were amazing, the boat introduction was cool as hell, overall the entire thing was great.

I know about the controversy of the drag queens imitating the last supper or something, but I thought it was really pretty, and my mum, who is catholic, thought it was great.

I don’t know why else people think it was bad. What are your thoughts about it?

TIA and please be nice (and to each other too!)

    So it was unique and ambitious. But from a point of view of a TV show, it was very badly produced. It felt like camera shots were not ready, I’ve read that some bits we didn’t get to see at all. It seems there must have been poor communication between the organisers and the TV element. In today’s world, we re used to sleek TV shows, almost over-rehearsed but this was not one of them, and it’s jarring. I think the commentators here said there had been no rehearsals.

    I did feel sorry about the rain but the bridge could have had cover and they could have anticipated it could happen. Some bits were great, but some were really amateur.
