As an American I was offended they used Americans in their opening. If I were British I’d be offended too.
I said the same thing here yesterday and was downvoted.
With all that France has to offer. Randomly: illuminism, industrialisation, human rights, science, European space travel, engineering technology on high speed trains at scale, airbus and space manufacturing, cinema, opera, the f*cking cathedrals, nuclear energy, every modern European constitution, inventing f*cking democracy and countless other achievements… No, let’s have minions, bad dancers, a badly dressed catwalk, horrible editing. I’m just baffled, France. The question was what DON’T you have to offer… but no, let’s have the minions in the Nautilus. What the…
NY Post and Dailymail: horrible
Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Washington Post: great show
You just don’t get it.
They spent all this money so that the Parisians will riot and put on a real show for us 😎
Come on Parisians, do your thing. Viva la France 🇫🇷
I did not like the transvestite catwalk.
I did like a lot Gojira, the Assassin running through french industries, CELINE FUCKING DION, all the badass athletes from when I was young.
So over all I think it was really cool.
(Zidane getting stuck in a malfunctioning subway was peak)
Aren’t the Paris Olympics supposedly the cheapest one? So I’m not surprised by the quality of the opening performances.
Stupid New York Post Yanks upset?
W Pierre
I hope Warsaw gets the Olympics soon so we can see what your opening ceremony looks like
I disagree:
– London 2012 remains the most superior
– New York Post, Daily Fail readers and other international gammons all upset
– Celine Dion
11/10 give it to them again
Olympics suck. If you support or watch them, you suck too. Corrupt bullshit that has nothing to do with sports.
And the new york times seems to have enjoyed it a lot. So what do we do ? Most of it looked great in my opinions, even with the constraint of the rain.
It had highs and lows.
You can’t tell me that Gojira was shockingly bad.
You can’t tell me having athletes on boats in the rain was a good idea.
OP – you are a pole. Of course you are disappointed.
It was a great idea but with a really poor pacing. It’s funny how people are complaining about a bit about diversity…
A fascist-supporting right-wing garbage tabloid didn’t like the opening ceremony. What a suprise!
Literally had a lad with half his bollix hanging out.
They gave the torch to the oldest living french during the rain and left him there on his wheel chair for a while, that was great
It’s of course unfair to Pierre. We just held the best international football tournament in recent memory that was extremely well organized since it was run by Germans and not French people. Now they have to keep up. They are trying their best and we shouldn’t be too harsh on them.
I really liked it. The commenters really nailed it. Either you have one hour of people walking in or and a show or you have a longer show interrupted by people boating in.
Right wing ameritards hate France? Boring.
Celine Dion was pretty decent as well as the metal gig at La Concierge but the rest was pretty average
Was it actually bad or are we just shitting on france again
You guys let France organize the Olympics, then you are surprised when they do the ceremony with Cabaret and Burlesque?
It was to American.
Why would you even consider the New York Post’s opinion?
I’m sorry, but some of you Eastoids are just savages
Where is the fire and poo ? ffs France, sort it out.
Me, my dad and grandma were watching the Olympics, we were waiting for the Olympic flame to get lit but it was already 23:00 and they kept dragging it on and we just went to bad, fucking boring

It was quite good
