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'.

精灵旅社变成精灵健身会所了，传承就意味着与时俱进。
Ericka这个角色毁了这个系列，这角色太tm土了
我儿子对蝴蝶到跟前印象深刻，当时用手去捉。
能做到第四部还保持在及格水平线上，也是可以了。
抱住小女孩那里好感动。
竟然都第四部了。。。而且我竟然每部都看了。。。可以不用再拍了
带着女儿去看的，因为游乐场限流先去看了场随机电影。我们家爸爸看了估计要气死，这么好的女儿让猪拱了
时不时会回听前几部的片尾曲，I'm In Love With a Monster和Cause You're My Zing听不厌，这次的片尾曲也好听！

老父亲为了维持家族酒店的经典传承，不被女婿搞成网红店，有什么错？
该有的都有，节奏和广播站都可以，宝宝很喜欢
哈哈哈哈好好笑，大爱这个系列，一定要继续拍下去啊！！
Transformania依然保持着同系列的原汁原味，夸张有趣诙谐且不痛不痒无关紧要。
如果岳丈不願意給我他的財產，那麼就把他變弱，再利用他女兒對我的維護情感要脅，最後他也只能用Family 給自己洗腦交出財產，表面無害的人類女婿恐是最大Boss:)
程式化了，没多少惊喜，但是变身很有意思很好看，也算是制作大于创作，平平无奇保持商业水准。
其实还可以，怪物变身回人也有一定新奇性，女婿真是盲目乐观啊
勉强能3星，但还是算了吧。核心就是老套的身份对调，互相理解的一个过程，没有多少有趣的细节，只有果冻最出彩。该结束就结束吧，这种动画系列电影，貌似除了玩具总动员，其他基本都是一部不如一部，靠着第一部闯出来的票房，多收割几次，仅此而已。
仍然是超级夸张的搞笑风格，剧情清晰明确欢乐。能get到影片想表达的（无论是怪兽还是人类，Ta的本质不会变化），影片只是使用了怪兽和人类互相转换的形式，没有深入的内容。//对德古拉的女儿女婿怎么都喜欢不起来
拍到第四部，没有反派，矛盾只能从内部生发，有一种狗尾续貂的感觉，不推荐
虽然很套路，但还是觉得很好看，又温情又好笑。小朋友5岁，听不懂英语也看得哈哈笑。我觉得这是个合格的动画片
