Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Amazing
I have to say this DVD was amazing. I've never really paid attention to neither any Olympic ceremonies until now; nor the games either. This open ceremony has some history about China which I didn't really know about and A LOT of fireworks which was cool. Though, one thing the back of the DVD box shows is the open ceremony is 4 hours long; not true. It's more like a little over 2 1/2 hours long, and is just like the one that was aired on NBC. Still, I'd recommend this DVD to any one who would like ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Are we sure?
Only an observation based on the advertisement shown on Amazon.

Whoever made this would have been smart to visit nbcdvd.com first since the jacket shown on this product is the one used by NBC on their 2008 Olympics HIGHLIGHT disc. In other words, this looks like a highlight disc, not the complete opening and closing ceremony disc.

Frankly, that's why I skipped this product and moved on ... I want to be sure to get the correct content!




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 2008 Olympics: Beijing 2008 Complete Opening Ceremony
The first DVD was excellent. Excellent video and audio, and it contains a few scenes that were "commercialed out" when it was originally broadcast here. The second DVD contained the "Parade of Nations". It was excellent quality, both sound and video, was colorful, but boring after awhile, unless you were looking for a particular person/country (Yao Ming for example).



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A complete disappointment because of poor picture and sound quality
I had been reading reviews here of this DVD complaining about the poor picture and sound quality, and thought, "it can't be that bad". Well, yes, it IS THAT BAD. My God. It's like a poor VHS Dub. Poor stereo sound that sounds like it could be mono. Another problem: The music that plays under the introduction to China segment and under Tom Brokaw's documentary about China and the torch relay is not the same as it was when it was rebroadcast. They re-scored it! Now, I know they probably didn't ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Glorious Spectacle!
2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony, the history of China told in all its colorful and soaring splendor, is amazing. The rest of the DVD is the parade of athletes, if you like that sort of thing after seeing it on TV.
