I thought it was pretty cool. First off, any time you pit Voldemort against Mary Poppins, that's a good start (although I'd have liked to see them do a wizard duel with the green and red lightning bolt-like effects).
I'm a fan of any type of alternative storytelling though. This opening ceremony had a lot less spectacle than Beijing, but had a lot more storytelling.
