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'.

奶飞确实不差钱，炸飞机毁古堡拆电车从头奇观打到尾，基本上一分钟尿点也无。话题上又有高司令边卖肉边和2046赛博老婆安娜德玛斯再续前缘互爆骚话，又有美队腆着美国翘臀用吃奶力气装变态，罗素兄弟从大数据里找来了所有流量密码，把它们随便捏咕一下塞到一个烂剧本里，一脸“用什么动作不重要啦我就是为了最后爽那一下”的态度。真就应了那句奶飞人傻钱多的梗，创作者来了这里都有点老学究进窑子的意思，裤子脱也脱了，汁榨也榨了，还不带人家抛下世俗偏见玩点没玩过的姿势？
老套无聊的人设与剧情，莫名其妙的暗杀与营救。
再把小高那个油腻上司删减一下就更乐了
哈哈连油腻美队也忍不住怼了ken doll lol 智商下线的电影，就当看看高司令苦练眨眼哈哈哈哈哈
就这破剧本是怎么拿到2个亿投资和高司令+美队的？
片子本身不难看，可是总觉得之前在哪里看过，Mission Impossible或者Jason Bourne都比这部拍的好，所以它有什么不同？如果没有不同，那它还有存在的必要吗？
这爆米花，它馊了。同样的类型，还不如20年前的谍影重重1…
现在欧美影视是真的没啥东西可拍了，边看边吐槽都看着累，CE的演技啊颜粉都看不下去了……
到哪儿都是一团烟雾，这个罗素兄弟适合典礼婚庆
相当精彩，审美风格和《新蝙蝠侠》类似，信号弹、手电筒起舞打斗两幕尤其。叔本华和西西弗斯。
爽片，枪战动作戏好看，高司令也好看，爽就完事，没啥剧情
有很多看点，但又感觉没有灵魂，网飞感已经成为一个让我有负面刻板印象的观影预设了，但依旧可以多给布拉格半星！
2个亿的投资就这？剧情也太单薄了，前面不知道看了个啥，全片只要知道美国队长想杀了高司令，就可以随时点开进度条欣赏两个人打来打去。
中间段的几场打斗戏还不错，美国队长是演反派上瘾了吗
whoever made this is as big a fan of blade runner 2049 as I am
我只要高司令 请别跟我抢 谢谢。（事实证明，再好的动作片没有剧本加成也不行。最后一段水中打戏梦回2049。ps. play me loud那里要是放city of stars就神了！！pps. wagner的发型也太逗了。
再把小高那个油腻上司删减一下就更乐了
46/100。真的就如安娜所言，好多好多动作戏啊！不过这些动作戏倒也还行。但坐拥三位我超级喜欢、而且之前的合作中互相之间都很有火花的演员，最终却呈现出这么一个玩意儿，我属实是很失望。（小女孩有惊艳到我，在我心目中她甚至盖过了安娜）
高司令全程又是一个面瘫，仿佛刚从《Drive》片场回来；美队演的反派除了放狠话以外啥也不会，甚至放狠话也放不明白；女主全程工具人，也不知道和谁一伙也没有任何动机；反派高层全程就动个嘴皮子；女二也没啥作用，就最后好像有点什么狼子野心的桥段但又好像确实竹篮打水了。
ps.亮点全在布拉格
