did anyone watch it?

personally i thought it was awesome some of the routines they had were so well put together and apparently they used 30,000 fireworks lol thats something for britain to follow up eh?

600 men just for fireworks

i wastch it
thought it was brilliant
liked it when they where on the drums at the start they all looked like robots
thats how well put together it was

boring though when they team whewre comming out
half of them i had never heard of before
onyl wanted to see great britain
and USA

just watching it now on bbc1

thts amazing... we'll have to do a lot better tho in 2012

Bored me TBH, i watched shawshank redemption on DVD instead

the only part that bores me is when the countries are comming out
there was 204 i think i knew about 70 of them at the most

Yeah i agree, i hate it when it shows all the countries lol but apart from that it was a good opening ceremony

the drummers at the start was the best i think
when they did the count down

i dont think any more needs to be said

is anybody watch the first live events
BBC1 1:55
just over 1 hours time

Im not to bothered about watching it..china is not a good place to hold the olympics IMO

I think it was absolutley aweful I cud ave dun beta

it's actually pretty good, love watching the swimming. michael phelps for 8 gold medals.

Its not hard to do that when u got over 1/6 of world population... the best bit was wen ppl tried putting out the flame
