    This is really awful, cheap and tacky to the extreme. Compared to Beijing it makes London look pathetic.

    I reckon if this was stunning people would still be looking for a reason to shoot it down simply because it's British.
    The stuff on the hill was weird though.

    I like this though!

    I think this is brilliant, a proper spectacle.

    Agreed, proper story. Not like china who just threw as much money and cheap labour at it for real meaningless drivel

    Is that not the way we roll? Actually, everyone getting killed was the moral victory. We're so good we did a Euro 2012 in 1916.

    I've no problem with it being different. To be honest, fireworks would've bored me too. I just don't think it's very good at all.
    The rings are cool though.
