How did you feel about the opening ceremony?

The dedication of the Vancouver games to the Georgian luger was very appropriate and touching. What about the rest of the ceremony? Imitation may be the best form of flattery but I saw too many cheap copies of China's opening ceremony during the rest of the ceremony. I felt it could have been much more original and that the whole piece did not express the Canadian story well enough to truly demonstrate Canadian pride or to entice me to explore Canada (the rock-n-roll violin piece was particularity troublesome for me). The only real high light for me was the poet. He, alone, expressed Canadian pride the best and truly gave me a want to visit Canada. How do you feel about it?
