I give the opening a 3/10. Kinda boring and uninteresting. Danny Boyle is just not very good or imaginative to handle something of this scope. Muhammed Ali looked Dick Clark sick. Paul McCartney sounded old. Best part was probably the Arctic Monkeys and the fireworks.
Beckham had that "hell yeah I'm handsome" **** eating grin going while riding shotgun on the boat. "I'm coming for you Clooney!" I would've rather seen Elton John playing piano, as Beckham kicks a soccer ball off of Connery's head and somehow that lights the cauldron. After seeing Mr Bean, I was half expecting Russell Brand to make an appearance and mumble some witty nonsense. Yay Britain!
So is streaming only available to cable/satellite customers??? I can't access it through NBC without one???
Usually host nations put on a show that reflects their culture and history. Sometimes it might incorporate the spirit of the games into it, sometimes not. But definitely past nations have put on a better show. And to make matters worse, it seemed organizers recycled past ideas.

Wowww ..... the US basketball women's team is playing shetty street ball... Painful game to watch! I am rooting for the Croatian team ... appears to have more hotties. I can see why the WNBA failed.
Basketball women are not winning by 10 or more points, in fact they were just down....what is going on!?
