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'.

没有那些违背物理定律的动作设计，整体节奏和情节设计看起来还是蛮不错的，三星半的水平。
中规中矩的超级英雄片，没什么惊喜但是也不难看。
太教条了、、、想升华主题但是没升上去让人很尴尬，然后每个人物都很平，剧情也变很平，看完觉得莫名其妙的
想法是很不错的 针对士兵的压力喝心理 结合一些老套的政府阴谋论 并不是没有看点的电影 但实在太粗制滥造了 除了动作戏的快速剪辑能看以外剧本运镜到演员演技都透着疲惫感 现在的线上电影也基本等同于了割韭菜 有观众就有得赚造成没有真正想要创作的电影人在这种级别的电影中带头
其实不算差，别太小看阿三的电影实力，比我们强……
滅口不合理，動作戲也一般，男主角ending完全不發揮嘛。
国旗纹在身上，也无法摆脱成为耗材的命运。整部电影中有很多夸张的情节，但又能让观众觉得真实，因为它的基调就是现实是黑暗和残酷的。
最后男主呐喊不要成为父亲那样抛妻弃子的人，动作场面拍得很一般
三星半。看到开头部分还让人很期待的，但后面叙事节奏还是整体偏平淡，表演很明显能看出来不够放的开，有点拘束，尤其是这样的题材很多细节上可以玩的更大胆。跟同期的《DEH》有相同问题，就是老“Mv”即视感太强，如果更多融入形体表演和senses里会更好。被隔壁气到愿意给JAMIE多半颗心
印度升级版战狼，荷尔蒙爆发，鸡血洋溢，别想那么多，看个爽就行。
好久没看过这么牛逼的爽片了，全程无尿点，枪战动作场面一流，观感极佳
一开始是幸福终点站，然后是机械战警，然后是孤胆英雄式的XX营救在行进节奏上显得稚嫩，热闹有余，精彩不足。
特战大队又不是cia，模仿谍影重重又做的很廉价，唉，差
过气老套，但整体还不是太差，类似《亡命天涯》《生死狙击》的缩水减配剧本，本福斯特适合演纯恶人，这部良心发现就很无聊，至于克里斯派恩，现在已经从好莱坞一线往三线俯冲，而且依然没有刹住的迹象。
把H1N1换成新冠病毒，毫无违和感，这就是真是的美国，一群资本家合伙开了一个公司叫美国，从来都不是为了人民服务的，为的是为他们赚取足够的利润，只有垄断才是最完美的商业，所以美国会为了独裁地位不停的搞事，军火石油已经满足不了他们的欲望
印度版的《机械战警》+《白宫陷落》！爽片一部，搞不懂他们英文和印度语混着说台词，不累的吗！从头到尾竟然没有歌舞，不容易啊！看那个《RRR》不少歌舞情节了！最近都是印度片！最难看的白痴印度电影还是要属《丧尸之城》
剧情又臭又长，整个故事一无是处，莫名其妙，知道任务要求的抛弃他的朋友三两句话瞬间就帮他去打承包商了，唯一值得称道的是，偷解药放病毒赚钱。
二线演员+三流导演出品的不入流小成本动作片。故事老套完成度不高。四十分钟开始第一场枪战。动作戏过于简陋。结尾按设定应该是一场前特种兵之间的盘肠大战，结果毫无战术可言，且草草了事，连枪都没响几声。
满满的好莱坞味道，情节虽然老套，处处模仿好莱坞，但模仿得真的还不错，合格的宝莱坞爆米花，剧情核心就是，别人有的我们印度也有，而且更好。
下岗干部，拖家带口；老马迷途，志在千米；错上贼船，异国落草；兄弟阋墙，看钱说话。
