Jan 23, 2008 - pretty good but the 84 version is still the best.

Jan 31, 2008 - I love John Williams, but let's not forget his mentor: Bernard Herrmann

acoustic8y3 Says:

Jan 31, 2008 - Anyone who has 5 oscars and was nominated 45 times is overrated. But that still doesn't deny his brilliance. The man is no beethoven, but his music often brings tears to my eyes in emotional climaxes. He IS the beethoven of cinema, I guess. Taking over in Bernard Herrmann's shoes.

Feb 11, 2008 - Summon the Heroes is a lovely piece, BUT, it doesn't compare to the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Theme, which is still used today in some broadcasts for any Olympic Games.

May 21, 2008 - This theme is also still used in the broadcasts today.

Jun 22, 2008 - This was one of the greatest opening ceremonies ever!

Jul 4, 2008 - You're kidding right? Atlanta was arguably the worst Olympic Ceremonies ever. Even the IOC former president agrees, by not calling it the "best olympics" as he did for every other olympic game ceremony

Jul 7, 2008 - when you think Olympics music you think this and the Olympic fanfare

Jul 13, 2008 - athens was much better i liked the dj tiesto music and the whole greek mythologie stuff

Aug 2, 2008 - they totally fucked up the coverage by talking and talking and talking over the music. SHUT DA FUCK UP!!! They got so much hate mail and so many critics calling for them to shut up during the musical parts, on the next olympics they all shut the fuck up!!!

MasterSanders Says:

Aug 15, 2008 - Williams and the ASO, the Coolest Combo ever!

Aug 15, 2008 - Juan Antonio Samaranch hated Atlanta from the beginning so he never was going to give credit when things were good... John Williams is arguably the best conductor and memorable American composer of the 20th century

dmb449 Says:

Aug 17, 2008 - Your right Samaranch did hate Atlanta from the begining...this was the greatest opening ceremony ever..not to mention the greatest games ever were it counts...in the competitions.

mrjinx87 Says:

Aug 18, 2008 - I think the fact that a bomb blew up in the Olympic Park had something to do with him not calling this the "Best Olympics Ever", don't you think?

aznn3rd Says:

Aug 18, 2008 - that could have been something to do with it. As well as the over-commercialization of the games from a display of genuine culture to a pop culture/ capitalism extravaganza

ugahush Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Yes and every game since then has been commercial to some extent.

alexxzz2008 Says:

Aug 23, 2008 - agree 1000%

Ihatenonwhites Says:

Aug 27, 2008 - Esta ceremonia de inauguración olímpica es de las que menos me ha gustado. Todo se ve correcto, sin embargo no emociona.

dnmukhra Says:

Aug 30, 2008 - Hells no. Are you on crack or something? Beijing olympics were the best ever. Their opening ceremonies and olympic venues put the Atlanta olympics to shame! Deep down inside, you know it too sucka!!!
