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'.

尊重NPC会是一件很傻的事情吗？
上周末时最大的快乐。太久没看过这种纯粹“好玩”的爆米花了！太久了！从盾牌那里开始真嗨了！影视版权的收购合并有时也可以是很梦幻的事情，当然了，电影本身就是造梦术，在这里没有什么不可以。看的那场气氛也特别热烈，我和我的小伙伴似乎是我们那一片儿欢呼得最吵的hhh。这个角色非Ryan莫属，卡司们都好棒好快乐555。视听爆炸的同时好莱坞充满火花的奇思妙想太艳羡人了，何谓真实何为虚幻，虽然只是看似很浅地在一部爆米花中提出，但回味一下其实到位，能够做成这样就足够好了。爽而美，设定又有趣，卡司又优秀，歌儿又贼好看好扭，请在现在这个空虚的内地市场尽情爆炸吧💥
一拳超人上线了，比第一部要轻松欢快一些，笑点多了，节奏还是很好，但是还是过于血腥了
Channing Tatum和某漫威男星客串是惊喜。其他内容感觉很无感，甚至爱情戏份很俗套。创意基本上来自《乐高大电影》（Lego Movie）、《楚门的世界》（Truman Show）和《头号玩家》（Ready Player One）的综合，角色略卡通化，没有留下深刻印象的内容。
Don’t have a good day. Have a great day! 看到Boston真是泪流满面
“失控”的《头号玩家》，主要故事框架很多都类似，但彩蛋元素运用在这部里，对我又没那么刺激。
头号玩家+楚门的世界+土拨鼠之日 结尾也很浪漫 相爱真的是一件十分幸福的事情
两个男主正反派都很喜欢，但是剧情真的很一般，作为无脑爽片还行
就还行吧，泄愤用的电影，介于犯罪片和科幻片之间的东西。
附长评：
又烂又好笑哈哈哈，最后变成了一个种地游戏！
好久没在电影院看电影了，也好久没这么快乐了，很标准的娱乐片，也成功娱乐到我，就是结局不太满意，女主明显跟那个小哥没啥感情啊！他们的问题根本不是一封情书能解决的事。
btw，我爱电影，我爱游戏。
3.5星...
游戏玩家的狂欢！难得的一部爆米花电影，和X特遣队一起给这个疫情之下的暑期档带来接二连三的惊喜！漫威星战梦幻联动，引发影院中连绵不断的尖叫！属于程序员的高光时刻！
燃烧瓶女孩的发型好喜欢！guy just nice guy
有趣，比预期的要有趣很多，可以感受到很多此前同类科幻片的梗和设定，但融合和借鉴得挺顺滑，最难把握的中段戏份反而成为节奏最稳的环节。稍显遗憾的是没有足够时间去沉淀虚拟与真实情感的探讨，在创意脑洞上也少了些许惊喜。
好莱坞的电影俗起来有一种在白宫里打麻将喝黄酒的奇妙体验。

为了突出动作戏也无可厚非，只是显得有点蠢
