boyle's brilliance ended when the towers where erected. Every other thing that follows was shit! They were just every where. No cordination, it was like watching a disco party.

Rhino.5dm:
Beijing . London is just overly hyped.

coogar:
that is because you did not understand what they were doing. after the towers came the nhs(gosh). rubbing it in the faces of america and others that health is wealth, health is free. then boyle was at his brilliant best when he played ball all the tv programmes from the dark ages till now.......then the "abide with me" rendition at the end? what's not to like about the ceremony?

shymmex:

Lmaoooo...

Where are the medals going to come from?

cheddarking:

How so?

i can understand why colour lovers preferred beijing---but to put down the history of an entire kingdom as rubbish is mind-boggling. If you didn't understand what boyle did, ask questions don't criticise!

It's not even about the culture thing. Most people watching yesterday understood what the 4uck was going on; british history. Nothing bad in showcasing that. In fact, it was expected. But at least, it needed to be interesting and put together. China showcased their culture in a way that grasped people's interest. London's was taken too lightly.

It didn't feel like an olympics opening ceremony for most parts. For goodness's sake, I saw Justin Beiber on my screen. WHY? Some random arse kids moving about. . Lord Voldemort was at the damn ceremony with his wand. Your queen fell from the clouds. It seemed more like an ill-planned circus to me.

tinkinjo:

London isn't hyped. Even the Brits know it is incomparable to Beijing.
I was so disappointed!

afam4eva:
I see a medal coming from Taekwendo courtesy Chukwumerike(son of the senator).

I also think some silver and bronze medals will come from the track and field events especially in the relays. It will be surprising to see Okagbare win the Gold in the track and field because I don't think the Jamaicans and Americans came to london for sight seeing.

But Nigerians such as Obikwelu, Idowu and Christine Ohurougu will likely win medals for Portugal and Britrain rrespectively.

this is what i would expect an illiterate to say.....so you couldn't grasp the fact that danny boyle presented the history of england from the middle earth(the shire) to the industrial revolution way down to the 21st century in less than 3 hours?

and it's not like the country you come from can muster any effort - Nigerians and their criticisms make me laugh!

Irunmole: London was the most arty-farty useless nonsense that i've seen of any olympic opening ceremonies, save for the part depicting the NHS and the cauldron being lit. Beijing was far better in showcasing the best of China in all its cultural glory and splendour. I actually got bored watching it after less than an hour, but trust the Brits to big-up their woeful rubbish.

The same 'NHS' that's about to be privatized?

And why should it always be about competing with the Yanks, when we all know we follow the yanks like dog - and the last time I checked, the last Olympics was in China, not yanks.

And they spent far more time on the American team yesterday than they did on team GBR smh... I know the yanks are somewhere laughing their arses off at their puppets..

buzugee: so you expect us to laud a hostory of savagery and theft and colonialism and racism and genocide of ethnic peoples and slavery ? colonial mentality dey worry you no be small. may i suggest a lobotomy ?

Sisi_Kill: Boyle. . .God love 'em, was trying to do too much!!!

On the other hand, I can't blame him too much. . .you gotta have something to work with and I believe if anything, the opening ceremony last night showed us that The Brits don't have a culture.

A lot of people are just responding to the familiar. . .Mr. Bean, Bond and The Queen. Take those 3 elements away and what do you have. . .NONSENSE!!

cocoduck: beijing was like playing a video game while london was going historical and mr bond the queen mary poppins harry potter the beatles etc they want to tell tell the world their history. the chinkos only wanted all to know that they have made it i dont even take anything from forbes serious

coogar:

coming from a citizen of a country where savagery, genocide, modern day slavery, looting, kidnapping and political violence are the order of the day, i find this particular post above amusing.

i find it difficult to put the words log, speck, eye and remove in a sentence to bury you. Buzugee, over to you to do the honours and get yourself into a psych-evaluation program to cure your dementia!
