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'.

昨天看完“噪点”颇多，“彩蛋”密集的《玩乐时间》还久久不能平息，再看看漫威，白眼翻上了天
磨磨唧唧两个半小时，还不如结尾彩蛋来得让人从昏昏欲睡中惊醒。 IMAX 1080P 22/01/13
用一個言情導演來拍這樣的漫威電影，成效幾乎可以立刻判斷，就是所用非人。
一整个儿地球竟是某个神族的孵化器，惊悚……为了保护地球人幸免于难，强行中止孵化进程，让刚要破壳(地球)而出的神族僵死壳中……残忍
但是因为同期有《沙丘》这样的史诗与这样一部伪史诗做对比真的差距一下就出来了。
能把GemmaChen 朱莉还有塞尔玛海耶克这几个美艳又强势的现役好莱坞女明星一个个拍得如同便秘似的弱鸡且苦大仇深 也是不容易 只能说赵姐 漫威拍的好 下次不许再拍了。
倒也没有漫威最差这么夸张，《尚气》《黑寡妇》《毒液1、2》《神奇队长》…….比这烂的我一列就是一大把
6.1 很完整，但很平凡，很boring。要是没有朱莉就这几位的气质也hold不住拯救地球的身份。唯一的亮点是黑人是个lgbt，但他那一跪真扶不起来。
PSSS：狼家两兄弟都爱上了瑟曦。。。🤪
可真是毫无魅力的影像呢。以及巴拉拉魔仙和七仙女特效是不是刻在中国人基因里被文化输出了。再次，为了显示是个超级地球大片，制造一些虚假的多样性，人类历史文明打卡式两小时游，for what?!
5/10 亚非拉人民手牵手反殖民反封建反帝跨多地大联欢晚会，表演节目中不仅有各地人民耳濡目染的《尼伯龙根的指环》、《孙悟空被压五指山》、《玛雅帝国覆灭记》、《宝莱坞的星三代》，还有大家乐于见到的《亚瑟王的传说》以及《土行孙和猩红王子星际奇遇记》，甚至还有儿童节目《我想长大》，多种族多题材多跨界多博爱，你想拥有什么就有什么，赵女士鸡贼得好，“你深爱的一样东西，就会保护它”，所以你就想反驳，一时竟无语凝噎。
这是对历史赤裸裸的篡改啊！！！真庆幸我学过历史，要不然我就向小日本申冤了
这水准下降的不是一般的快，就几个变异族打那么费劲，还说自己的超能力超过复仇者联盟，吹吧。
片子不烂，但编剧太懒了，剧情都是大顺拐。另外，影片借鉴其他作品也太多了，尤其是日漫。
从各方面讲都有不少突破，在这个过程中也有很多瑕疵和不完美。但对漫威来说这是个好的兆头。这是我看的赵婷的第一部电影，也是她接的第一部大片。用这个片来评判赵婷显然是不恰当的。之后会多看几部她的电影吧。
降低了预期来看觉得观感还不错，至少比流水线生产水平的《黑寡妇》要强。赵婷的审美还是很不错的，制造了不少视觉奇观，为了兼顾如此多角色的形象塑造，觉得偏多的文戏也还好。另外非常喜欢用Sprite这个角色很特别的角度来论述长生不老之苦，包括永恒族内两派观念的博弈，也都是有趣而特别的。也正因为如此，才更为那一跪感到痛心吧。希望这个系列还能有更多的可能性。
气质是对的，第三幕拍的还行，但是剧本完全可以精炼，无意义和解释性的对白太多。另外Barry Keoghan真是不错
当今漫威居然搞了一部反英雄式的超英片，很意外，也很惊喜，而且赵婷的商业尝试也太稳了，远超预期。至于多元化并没有什么不好，这本来就是一个多元化的世界，不要仅仅是一个身份就一股脑喊什么为了政治正确，不知道原著的设定但是电影的人设应该是为了更贴近人性，政治正确这几个字有点强加于人了。
史诗感冲淡了剧情上的各种WTF，但依旧冲不掉那一幕：种族屠杀你不哭，731你不哭，日本用现代武器屠杀千万人你不哭，日本嘭一声炸了，你泪流满面说人类不值得拯救
拍的不能说烂，但故事没什么意思，除了动作戏大部分时间感觉像文艺片，可谁要看漫威拍文艺片？所以找赵婷拍真是挺莫名其妙的，导演和漫威双输。让萝卜和囧雪演情敌挺恶趣味的哈哈
