The excitement really built up when they reached the industrial part, and the ring being formed before being lifted up into the air. After that, it was all very confusing and random. It looked like a children's show.
I felt like the opening ceremony didn't do a good job of welcoming the foreign nations. The ideas shown weren't very universal; all of it was very specifically aimed to display the nation's history. I bet the rest of the world was confused at the whole thing. A good quote I read about the ceremony: "Sick kids being attacked by shaggy ninjas and puppets and being chased away by a military regiment of Mary Poppins, all under a guitar solo."
