I will stick to my earlier reply, theirs was more technical and bigger but ours had more heart, better music and more charm. Just my opinion, considering the low expectations it owned frankly.

 

[pargonta]

there's the jet flyover on NBC! yay!

:/

edit: FYI, NBC is showing the whole Opening Ceremony, just hours later, starting now.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Boyle pulled it off and then some.
