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'.

年龄这么大了第一次看首映，感觉年龄大了熬夜看电影真的会猝死，回家差不多应该三点半了吧，害怕明天起不来上班，想睡一会但是imax场真的吵的闹腾。
而除去单元剧刻画的疏失外，米克尔森的格林德沃也无法令人满意，全片缺少像第二部驺吾那样惊艳的记忆点，米勒的退场极其仓促，大概只有纽特的神奇动物才能给观众带来一点欢笑了，但这些亮点均来自前两部的铺垫，且无法真正填充150分钟的全片时长。
罗琳你能不能不要自砸招牌了。。你看看你写的是啥
不过青梅竹马到老头这种恋爱剧情还是多少能让人感动到吧
罗琳女士，还是开放哈利波特宇宙吧，不会写剧本可以不写。全TM是废戏，这不是耽误制作方和演员吗？为什么要浪费钱呢？
九成九的镜头都是平庸愚蠢到无以复加的铺张浪费，真就不愿意多花点功夫让视听变得有那么一点点意思嘛，时隔六年再看这个系列发现还是那么难看，宽心了。邓布利多和格林德沃打到一半突然互相同时袭对方胸的时候，脑内自动播放唐可可语：「真爱，这是真爱啊！」
好多地方看不懂，莫名其妙，故作悬疑，价值观也不敢恭维，特别是有政治倾向，宣扬着如同儿戏的选举，把桑托斯映射印，刘X映射中，格林德沃映射俄，德国魔法部映射纳粹，暗示俄勾结纳粹破坏和平，暗示像印一样亲西方才会得到支持。。。总之就是恶心
中立项：
倒是挺喜欢的，观感比第二部好，在电影院才就应该看这种商业大片。候选人晚宴、监狱以及最后邓布利多和格林德沃对决的三场戏在大银幕看是真的很享受，我会永远爱那个魔法世界。纽特再度沦为工具人。倒不觉得格林德沃和邓布利多的戏是工业糖精，反而确实感觉到了朋友（or恋人）之间的爱恨纠结，最后收尾在邓布利多孤身一人还是觉得被虐到了。当然故事依旧讲得稀烂，拍了跟没拍一样，细节也经不起推敲。只能说能get罗琳想表达什么但或许笔力真的有限吧。7.5/10
剧情真的令我摸不到头脑，剧情里“没计划”是一回事，拍出来的效果稀碎却是另一回事
也不算很难看…但怎么一股武侠剧的味道…光明顶麒麟之子争夺战2333
是因为被关了太久所以出来过于快乐吗？完全没有觉得很烂。
各路角色都是纸片般单薄，这系列能在故事信息量越来越少的基础上做得越来越闷也是奇葩
1.特效，神奇动物，神奇的魔法世界，精彩的魔法对决
整部电影看下来，就没什么印象深刻的点，平淡至极，甚至于有点儿啰嗦。小魔法还挺逗人喜欢的。那个凤凰男叛变的太突兀了。麦子叔非常帅，但相比德普来说，邪气和癫狂不足，德普更像引领大批狂热信徒的邪教教主，麦子叔太冷静太不像走火入魔的疯子。如果还有下集，请一定要多拍神奇动物！不要再跑题了！
手机都玩没电了 我还是回去把哈利波特补完吧。2022/6/1@保利

里面的民粹和强行公投，感觉挺映射脱欧事件的。
这个系列走向逐渐DC化：金牌IP，铁粉无数，叙事稀烂，彩蛋救市。对我来说，全片唯一的亮点是那句“还有谁会爱你！”，对于家属（十级哈迷）来说，唯一的亮点：那个美女不会是麦格教授吧……卧槽，真的是麦格教授。
导演不愧是我最讨厌的好莱坞三个导演前2名，缺点依旧。很多人在骂罗琳的编剧，完全没想过要不是罗琳的故事有意思，鬼才看这个垃圾的片子。
