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'.

影院有活动，暑假，档期合适。就这么带娃看了。
最后也有点牵强吧
总体来说还是可以的，勉强保持了前几部的水准，娱乐性包括搞笑的地方还是有的，只可惜片长太短了，后边剧情太仓促了，最后结局有点敷衍，拍到第四部而且还不上院线了所以在制作上可能有些不太用心了。不过看这样还会有第五部，希望下一部可以在剧情上再好好打磨一下吧。
其实这一部也并不算差，至少观看的整个过程还是挺欢乐的，主题点的也很好，如果不是头痛一直缠着我，我应该会喜欢乔纳森这个角色的。
比三还是要好一点的吧，怎么分这么低，给个五星拉一拉，毕竟也最后一部了（还有德古拉骑约翰尼时想起驯龙高手了）
大自然的声音真叫人舒心……哈哈哈我爱动画片
金田二vs金田五，案子很一般，三女同台更一般，这个系列到此为止吧。
纯粹的狗尾续貂，Ericka这个角色很不讨喜，简直失败！多用用小狼崽和Dennis完善剧情会更好。不过四部过去，还是很喜欢Mavis的形象。一般将自己代入的是德古拉的位置，John也一直看不顺眼哈哈。
多少有些平平无奇了。很中规中矩看开头就知道结尾的故事。笑点不算很多吧，我对喜剧片虐待丑角身体真的没什么爱。
笑点风格完成了高水准的延续，叙事逻辑的简略却呈现出了敷衍了事的狗尾续貂。变身设定与瓮婿和解并未实现因果关系的相融，迫于压力的和解并没有在约翰尼的角色性格与行事作风上起到本质性的转变，以至于通过摧毁精灵旅社而获得完结与新生的交接缺乏说服力。德古拉所象征的垂暮一代眼见没有改变年轻人的可能，也只能选择妥协、选择相信，有时也像极了整个IP的创作颓势，逐渐被掏空、逐渐江郎才尽，只能把舞台让给更多的后来者，最终在无奈中哑然谢幕。
[视]国语。少见的丈婿题材，人与怪物身份互换，单亲家庭，独生子女
依旧喜欢互换这种题材 科学怪人变人类之后好帅好有型啊 而果冻……只是果冻……哈哈
西岛叔太帅了，就是同样是律师容易出戏到昨日的美食。片尾曲听到还是岚的歌，感慨万分。剧情不错，有反转。就是真的太吵了，一个律师片怎么会这么吵，感觉坐在电影院耳朵快聋了。
就是家庭伦理片，我觉得这个系列可以一直拍，而且永远没有新意。
感觉结束得很匆忙，新奇的设定没有得到发挥，我终于认识到梅菲斯哪都好，就是选老公的眼光指定有点问题，可能某种程度随她爸，Johnny加上三表哥的专业傻子配音就是纯纯一冲动傻子，Adam没来配有点可惜
就像为了节约成本，把编剧省掉了一样
西岛秀俊，没有你我怎么活啊😢😢（滚 案件好无聊，浪费我岛叔了（也没有） 香西的对手戏还是可以嗑上一小阵补充一下糖库（够 彩珠妹妹多演一些活泼可爱的jk呀～
没有最后那段说教就好了，明明最后的接力战很燃……btw这套表演方式实在是过时了，不想再看啦！
大自然的声音真叫人舒心……哈哈哈我爱动画片
其实这个点子是有很多可以深挖的内容的，但最后还是简单地拍成闹剧了
