I didnt even watch the opening ceremony.
The most important word here is Had.
EVERY Empire falls eventually.
I don't hear you saying 'Italy? From Empire to nothing.' 'Mongolia? From Empire to nothing.'

Liked the first scene a lot, with the industrial revolution etc. The visual effect of all the different things happening and the music and stuff, really nice.
Then it was just random circus acts that seemed to have no connection whatsoever.. like a children's hospital, James Bond and all this pop music history..
When they let that parachute guy/woman jump out of the helicopter dressed up as England's queen, I thought to myself how we(Netherlands) would never make fun of our own royal family like that.
Was pretty entertaining overall though
I liked that they credited lots of famous faces; Isambard Brunel, Sir Tim Berners Lee, etc.
