True. Tokyo’s handover in Rio truly excited me a lot. Such a shame about the actual Tokyo Olympic ceremonies
Tokyo Handover in 2016 is probably the best ever. It outshone the Tokyo cerimonies BY FAR.

Gosh, I take my word back, it’s boring boring boring.
This is as disjointed and bad as the OC, if not worse.
-
It’s all a bit bizarre, but boring (so far) it’s not. I don’t think the stadium audience have a clue about what’s happening though.

For Celine Dion, not only was it not lip-syncing but live, but she also rehearsed the day before at 3am at the Eiffel Tower.
She was NOT singing live, it's very noticeable in certain parts actually when her mouth and her voice are not in sincrony at all, but that's okay, it's very understandable in events like this.

By which time, many folks in the "Troc" arena had already left -- spectators, athletes and VIPs -- which is why they never showed any full-shot footage of the "Troc" arena at that time.
The trocadero part was such a misfire. The staging was kind dull, few athletes, and that horse “transition” was laughable, at best lol
The Eiffel tower special effects were quite good but it took so long, then that random dancer started doing his Michael Jackson thing, really the more I remember the worst it gets.
-
I don’t even care about the last supper parody (or whatever that was), this ceremony was chaotic and disjointed and should be an example of what NOT to do when planning an olympic ceremony.
Having said that, the last minutes were very good, Miss Dion was a highlight.
-
The last few minutes were nothing short of EPIC!
The whole ceremony is still a big NO though.

This is beautiful.

Who's the random (?) guy dancing? This is so aleatory lol.

Well. The rain scared away, I think, 80% of the athletes... without the rain, the Trocadéro stage would have been full. It's so sad.
The lack of athletes, the raincapes, the staging, all of it makes a not very nice scenery, almost sloppy tbh, despite the monumental Tower.

The scene transitions… wtf
That was amateur at best lol
-
This is one long ride lol
The tv commentators trying to make some sense out of this is the best part so far.
-
Are they singing on a floating asteroid?

The irony is, the whole point of going down the Seine was to show off the beautiful Paris scenery and we've barely seen any of the cool shots with the Eiffel Tower in the background. It's just been terrible angles, rain covered cameras, terrible catwalk and a smurf.
And Minions, don't ever forget the Minions darling.

Boring? Hell NO lol

I’m notice a struggle with scale. Paris is BIG - and the performers / performances are getting lost or struggling to have impact within their settings.
True! That Marseillase perfomance was beautiful but the scale was so off, the singer looked so tiny.

I honestly don’t think it’s that. It’s the fact it’s raining and the skies are dark and gloomy. If it had been sunny earlier with blue skies, this ceremony would have translated better.
I'm not that sure about it, a nicer weather would surely help make this a better experience but the camera work would still hold this back, it's that terrible.
-
If this concept doesn't work in a gorgeous city like Paris, let's all agree to have the next OC's inside stadiums right?
-
I like some of the ideas tbh, but the execution is not that good and the camera work is just terrible, TERRIBLE!
-
Minions? Is this LA 2028 already? Wth.

His face says it all, tbh lol

Gosh, this is a nightmare for the organizers, so much rain.

These flying dancers with the Parisian backdrop are wonderful!

At this point, pure entertainment would be a vast improvement tbh. Any well put show would be better than this CC.
