Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

美国的警察太差劲了，警察局都快让人家给拆迁了。
中段袭警局还可以，后半段完全无脑混战，也不知道各自的初衷是什么
除了那场格鲁吉亚战舞（那玩意不是芭蕾）外只剩下混乱和无趣。
2.5死亡大乱斗，女主光环，人性厮杀。晋西北都乱成一锅粥了🤣
为什么每个人在死亡边缘仍不忘耍酷，依旧废话连篇，说话的方式是狂妄但却妄想显得很谦逊，更可恨的是眼还瞎。
严格来说，和国产的2 3分的烂片没什么区别，边玩炉石边看都嫌浪费时间 懒得说更多了。。
3.5小场景小故事没太多反转但还算节奏紧张
IMAX@英皇iSQUARE 先说争议最大的点。刚开始看的时候，这种剧情确实对我们接受内地传统史观的人造成了较大冲击（特指刺杀侵略者斐迪南大公的塞尔维亚人普林西普被说成是恐怖分子）。然而从另一方面来说，提取各位历史人物的负面评价进行单纯的戏谑，也是有点意思的。（毕竟这只是提取要素加以点评，而不是中国喷子始祖罗贼罗贯中式的泄愤式恶意歪曲历史式的抹黑。）而且能看到这些历史事件的重现，着实让我激动了一阵子。/但是从电影拍摄来说，真的几乎没有任何优点。拍不出前两部的那种自然而然的绅士elegant（本系列的最大特色）是本电影的最大败笔。并且节奏混乱，剧情割裂感很强，降智成分也不少，恶搞了历史也是玩玩段子，没有上升到思想。/男男的那段玩得有点过了，而且最严重的问题是它败光了kingsman的逼格。
确实相当相当平庸，一会儿刺杀一会儿打仗，节奏混乱，一般这种父子戏，咱都想着应该是儿子成长吧，嘿！主角还是爹！连王牌特工最拿得出手的装逼戏都没有。至于最后黑列宁黑苏联，我倒是完全无所谓，why so serious？是吧！
节奏有问题，前面铺垫太长了，虽然要素齐全，陷落哥出手来的太晚，最后也确实没看明白黑人女警想做什么
警察局混乱的一夜。除了有点扯，有点乱，有点怪，好像也没剩下多少了。
全片最暴力疯狂变态的角色居然姓lamb小绵羊。。。
居然只有不到600人评分？这片子虽然小成本制作，但其实还是可以一看的，比某些几亿票房的国产片好多了。
杰拉德巴特勒 我唯一喜欢的外国影星 剧本还是对我口味
这机翻字幕，所有的“杀”全变成了“口”。几个人口来口去的。。。。
很过瘾啊 简单的场景设定 不是很复杂的人物关系 专业的杀手 疯子杀手 敬业的女警 龌龊的黑警 无赖的骗子 都很到位啊 专业的就是人狠话不多 疯子就是叨叨叨疯疯癫癫 很棒 看着很过瘾 就是有些地方略显拖沓
剧本把开场气氛铺垫得挺好，但一开打就泄气了，俗套的反杀一波接一波让我直翻白眼
有几个地方还可以、但大部分地方都很垃圾、警局的人真的是智商堪忧.尤其是最后死在卫生间的那两位.笑死我了
当一个和平主义者，杀掉打算退出战争并治好自己伤腿的僧侣……（拉斯普丁or not）
，男票看得很激动lol btw两位老大哥好帅啊值得多加一颗星
