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'.

这个架势还会有5.6.7，说实话如果实在没创意了，不拍也没人怪你们！
拍到第四部，没有反派，矛盾只能从内部生发，有一种狗尾续貂的感觉，不推荐
弟弟说给99分！满分10分的话就给10分！哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
2022.4.20 还可以吧 其实第三部就已经脱离精灵旅社这个故事了 这部也不尽然 但其实我还是很乐意看的 以后如果出第5部我也肯定会来看 我感觉比第三部稍微好看点 其实故事线都很明确的 就是亲情和友情的故事 德古拉要退休了 想把酒店转让给自己的女儿 但又不想转给约翰尼 编了个约翰尼不是怪物烂理由 约翰尼就想变成怪物 找了那个科学家 果冻喝水撑的贼大笑死 开头的哥伦比亚女神换成果冻笑死我了！果冻真的是我这系列最喜欢的角色！复原光线射到僵尸上变成人才一会又被咬回去了笑死了 不小心反弹到自己 德古拉变成人类了哈哈哈 后面的飞机居然是用胶带粘着的 果冻变成人类居然是变成真果冻 动都动不了那种笑死 德古拉出去还要带棺材哈哈哈 眼镜人居然一直是裸体的！其实跟第二部挺像的 每一部都有他们三人的矛盾
作为系列收官作 还能玩点花样 让怪物和人类身份互换 实属不易 令我们见到了几个主要怪物角色成为怪物前的人类真身和真实性格 蛮有趣的 但从故事上 这一部回到了系列原初 重新谈起了德古拉对约翰尼人类身份的认同与接纳的问题 也搞了一把这几年流行的we are family 可以说这部电影对整个系列画了个圆 从角色刻画上终于达成了德古拉伯爵的最终成长 不过这一部还真是一如既往的闹腾 挺尴尬的
很难想象这是一部儿童动画电影，制作方面，简直吊打很多电影了，至于内容也还行，就是有些地方，借鉴太多了，不过冲着我一个大人没快进并且津津有味的看完了，还是给个五星吧，总比那些喊着国漫崛起的动漫电影好
还行啊，反正比3好看。with jerry
太失望了，和前三部完全不在一个层次，浪费了这个ip，前三分之一很无聊，后三分之二又吵又套路，johnny就是傻x，唯一有意思的就是几个怪物变人除了弗兰肯斯坦之外都是秃子挺着啤酒肚
因为一只陌生的野猫就大动干戈排斥熊二，刻意又儿戏，但熊二听到之后返回楼道啃红薯的片段确实抓心。决战时汇聚千万石块变身成与“天火”等量级的“巨石熊”非常震撼，可惜战斗时间太短，寥寥几拳还没过瘾就草草收场。不过最后反派女陷入悲惨与快乐交织的童年回忆的部分非常不错，在解释反派行为原因的背景的同时，也令观众再次热泪盈眶。
我居然看进去了，虽然有点扯淡，不过看得蛮开心的，哈哈
除了怪物变回人类挺有意思，其他真是无聊透了
片尾曲超好听，可惜目前没有资源，希望可以早日实现洗脑循环
虽然熊二的设定一直都很笨，但是他很善良，最后当了英雄，还是很感动的，我们只有一个地球
岳父和女婿之间的遗产（旅社）继承。仿佛这一切和女儿没关系，真边缘呀，也是真父系家长制。这就是它们想要的家族形态？
没想到三表哥连配的动画角色都会有daddy issue。
“不必成为我，你是哥哥的骄傲”。剧情幼稚了点，但特效和制作可以说是国漫顶尖水平了。反派姐姐好飒，美晕我了！
已经第四部了，水准还没有降得离谱，轻松有趣，还不错。但是一直是老丈人对女婿的认同，母题有点重复到审美疲劳了
已经不能完全吸引我了，并且可能是我上岁数了，还觉得有点聒噪。我的问题
很好看啊。这次的熊出没不仅仅是给孩子看的，大人也可以看？有不少梗，笑点很多。
因为没什么期待反而觉得还可以，中规中矩的爆米花家庭动画片～
