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'.

合家欢的冒险片，剧情实在是俗套和低龄化了，Emily Blunt延续动作女主+一女搭二男的顺应潮流算是挺讨巧的吧。衷心希望这不是我2021年在大银幕看的最后一部好莱坞电影!
全片很迪士尼，图个放松欢快丛林野味童话气息的朋友可以肆无忌惮的享受~
但是剧情真的不值两亿，普普通通迪士尼。
我怎么突然不会写影评了哈哈哈
一对兄妹，一个奇怪的男人，让我想起了几十年前的《木乃伊》，这简直是太像了，则显得缺乏新意
好老套……还不是好看的那种。男女主角毫无cp感，看得全程尴尬。低配版夺宝奇兵+加勒比海盗。早知如此，何必当初和戴普叔解约呢
强森的喜剧表演是唯一看点 整部片子看起来就像是一篇有字数限制的不及格小说 前半段把人物环境故事等描写的很生动 但也因此花费大量篇幅 导致真正的高潮部分已无字数展开 剧情发展和结尾的低劣套路让人顿感开头的铺垫索然无味
没有特别惊心动魄大气磅礴的情节，是个非常轻松欢乐的小作品，跟迪士尼的游乐项目一样。
也就是《木乃伊》的一个脚趾头吧，片头女主爬梯子那里致敬明显，特效有点假，两人最后的火花还不错
剧情起伏比同类型的《勇敢者游戏》、《地心历险记》更有追求
实在无法评价，要是无聊可以去电影院看一下，一切都很标准的现代好莱坞电影。有一点点3D效果一惊一乍的，迪士尼乐园广告片。
我怎么突然不会写影评了哈哈哈
Good news: No way they gonna do a sequel.
2021.8.4 7.30上线的 在31找到了资源但没中字 8.1就直接有自带字幕版本的了！太快了 还真一般 有点失望 这应该是我看过迪士尼里最不喜欢的一部了 故事情节太快了 特别是后面的片段真的不是很喜欢 但是美好的片段还是那么的迪士尼 里面居然有强森和艾米莉接吻。。谁敢相信强森居然都能拍吻戏了呢。。艾米莉还是一如既往的好看 故事就是女主寻找月神之泪 可以包治百病 在一个协会偷走一个东西 后面到了亚马逊雨林 遇到了强森 他是一个类似于导游的人经常靠各种小手段欺骗游客的钱 后面才发现他居然是不死亡灵一类的东西 最后找到了月神之泪救活了被石化的强森 过上幸福生活
《加勒比海盗》的套路加上《夺宝奇兵》的模式，俗套，但是很欢乐。
迪士尼ride电影想到二十年前看得vcd系列（这是落地策略吗都找不到非配音版本），中间打斗有点冗长（前方又不喷水椅背又不会动打那么久很没有必要！），但前后很欢乐，出字幕才意识到那个是Jack Whitehall，他是变帅了吗？！
就……挺一般的。想解说的心思都没有了。——20211019
好莱坞奇幻冒险片行活。全程毫无惊喜，但能看。找强森这种级别的演员也是花了点钱吧。然后在这种爆米花剧情里，还埋了欧洲殖民者屠杀南美土著、对俄国人的丑化的好莱坞式政治正确，真尼玛烦。
迪士尼的片子 你懂的…… 优秀的制作老套的故事 就是让人不厌其烦的一部接一部看
