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'.

不太记得上一部了，不过总体上很喜欢这一部，没啥人设所以也不存在人设崩塌，没啥剧情所以也不存在三观破碎。杀人不杀狗的老兵叔叔太可了，小凤凰真惨，养了自己一辈子的也骗了自己一辈子，亲生爸妈好不容易团聚结果是为了搞死自己，最后还要被迫砍掉老妈的手顺带还得弑父。期待下一部，熟女小凤凰为闺蜜屠城，盲视暗杀后继有人！
纯粹变成爽片了，就把前一部紧张又恐怖的氛围给搞没了，小女孩演的还是挺好的
反转依然是这系列的精髓。但是水准比第一部下滑不少，与其说是惊悚片，不如说是动作片。主要的几个人物，除了你大爷永远还是你大爷，剩下几个人的逻辑行为都很混乱，看得人很迷。
3.5/5 2集結束才夠殺，第一集是變態強姦犯，第二集是強姦犯的救贖，這集依舊有讓人驚艷的室內長鏡頭，設計在小女孩與闖入者的室內捉迷藏，第一集玩性奴梗，第二集命題變成親奴，簡單的B級片玩多重反轉，且越反轉越道德淪喪，是第一集的優點；第二集也差不多走這路線，看的出編導很努力讓故事有新意，說實話也不怎麼恐怖了，但仍然是一部娛樂性十足的驚悚片，彩蛋小感人，狗狗全片畫龍點睛。
两条大忌
对狗的态度决定了人物命运。谁能想到屏住呼吸出了个动作片续集😂 想来是大爷（即便做出了XX之举）太受欢迎，studio觉得让他做反派过于可惜吧。圆脸小姑娘好可爱，有点阿比盖尔贝丝林小时候那味。话说啥时候拍爱狗者联盟啊。
好莱坞小成本的2总是不遗余力让元素更丰富，但也总是失去了1的新锐性。
B级片可以不在乎故事逻辑，可是动作逻辑也莫名其妙。
如果它不是扛着屏住呼吸续作的头衔，我会给个三星半。我知道全片的主旨几乎就是在比谁更“恶”，可是得有内容有逻辑的“恶意”才能撑起整部电影呀，这种只是为了让故事继续下去强行制造冲突和转折的故事我真的就不可以。足够好的部分也都剪出来放进预告片了，余下的就是开挂的盲人和更加清晰的暴力特写。啊但是狗子好，好狗子，全世界狗子最好了！
天杀的导演和编剧，第三部只能拍老头前传或者小女孩后传了。闯入者数量和力量方面全面升级，可惜后半部分没有前半部分精彩，期待已久的小女孩和老头联手大杀四方的画面并没有出现，反而是一出简化版的飓风营救，希望续集能有惊喜
女主表情特帅，结局和反派铐在一起沉入海底很有意思。
第一部才是真正的“屏住呼吸”，在一个有限的空间当中弥漫的压迫感才是最震撼观众的。这一部完完全全变成了犯罪动作片，老大爷上一部对别人做过的事这次都被奉还，既然被打成这样了，屏住呼吸也变得没太大必要。有一段剧情我实在没搞懂，同伴的嘴被胶水粘住，为什么先想到的不是把胶水弄开，而是先在他的脸颊上戳一个洞。
美国警察都干嘛去了呢，本以为最后有警察出场营救小女孩，可她居然自己去孤儿院报道了，好像老爷子还活着，期待第三部回归密室系列吧！
影片的剪辑有很大问题，小孩子还是很可爱的！
要是大哥都这么帅，还有小鲜肉什么事！真带劲！真过瘾！
tough，very tough， but only tough！
韩国电影总体来说是真挺好看的，虽然内容基本大同小异
这老头也太禁造了，简直就是金钟罩铁布衫外加打不死的小强啊，不过，最后还是挂了，这导演是不打算拍续集啦？BUG：房子周围全是树，又没下雨，这熊熊大火居然自动灭了，真奇葩。
女版的士🚕速递，如果不是配乐原声带选曲契合剧情，猫猫🐱小胖的带入，这部片撑死2颗星，剧情老套的无感！
血暴程度飙升，几处设计很精彩；亲爹亲妈太扯了
