I will say this, the theme was original. Instead of the athletes marching into a stadium, they came in on boats. Also, the Eiffel Tower light show was spectacular.

On the downside, I am not a fan of Lady Gaga and Celine Dion. Their music is not my cup of tea. I like Rock n Roll, and yes, the "Heavy Metal" segment was a joke.

Also, the Eiffel Tower light show reminded me of a Pink Floyd concert. I am a huge fan of PF.

What really baffled me was the journey of the masked torch bearer. I don't get it, was it someone famous? It just seemed difficult to follow, and lacking a point.

I saw the Eiffel Tower thing, that was dope.  

This whole thing is kind of bizarre b/c it's French.  I've noticed that with things like French movies (in english, don't speak da frenchie language), and it seems that the French are so in awe of their creativity and culture that they feel that anything that's not over the top in creativity and just plain out there, is boring.
