The only thing that ruined it was the Queen. I think she embarrassed the country by cleaning her nails when her own team walked out into the arena. And the 'I declare the games open' speech she gave sounded horribly forced and almost as if she didn't really want to be there. Oh, and lets not forget the fact that she had a face like a thundercloud for most of it.
Ah well, still great over all
thats just how the queen is nowadays though, she was like that for most of the Jubilee stuff aswell, sadly for kings and queens there is hardly ever a way to gracefully retire, no matter how good you were in life, youll be a dribbling idiot by the end of it
i really liked the event, bond and the queen and i really loved the music bit, maybe cause im 25+ from europe so it brings back alot of memories from when i was very young. Watched it on the bbc, so even some bits i didnt get like the kidcatcher were explained, maybe thats why americans didnt like it, toom uch stuff they didnt get
