Blue Jeans Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The opening ceremony was AMBITIOUS and GRANDE. Obviously hard to execute and the weather didn't help but that was so unique and epic 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetCrush Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Anyways I thought it was overall good even though sometimes it felt like things should've taken half the time they did. I like that they did something different that really put the city of Paris in the spotlight. But in a second thought mixing the theatrics with the delegation boats maybe wasn't a good idea cuz it made that catwalk segment so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abelfenty Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 That OC was rather disappointing. It felt more like a carnival than an Olympic ceremony. Doing it outside of the stadium was a misfire as it felt like there was no atmosphere. Celine was a phenomenal closer tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gui Blackout Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Ok the whole Seine part was a flop, but this whole last part was flawless and iconic, they ate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylerbv Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Just now, The Next Day said: The first hot air balloon flight in history was in Paris. That's the reference. Not me reading "flight" as "fight" and picturing people throwing darts at each other's balloon as they float 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Runner Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Sorry, but this kinda ended up being good. The whole concept of using the city was rad as hell. Too bad certain choices (lack of focus, poor camera work, non-existing tension). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezik Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I actually found it quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotham Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 First part was a mess but the second half was great and overall I appreciate the ambition. I think people will look back on this opening ceremony more fondly in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namiskine Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 This was very unique, ambitious, camp, messy and all over the place in the Frenchiest way! Thomas Jolly did a fantastic job Best parts were definitely Celine, Gaga, and Macron getting booed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
