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'.

真是烂出天际了，越看越烂。看到40分的时候是2星，看到76分钟再次打开豆瓣改成1星。
男二被中国战狼干完又被美国战狼干，杰拉德巴特勒还是演点会死的角色更可爱。虽然故事和结构比《血溅十三号警署》更有新意和负责，却毫无那种紧张和鼓励感
喜歡這類一夜殺戮的電影，很緊湊。劇情緊張刺激。最後二十分鐘破功了，很俗套
周末看看还可以，警察局也太惨了，被一群疯批整的一塌糊涂。
好家伙拉二你想演喜剧就大大方方演 整这东西图啥啊
虽然简简单单的剧情演得那么拧巴，但是观影过程还是爽的，斯巴达杀手老心理学了，而且也真的太守信了啊，还送佛送到西，直接救2次，那么问题来了，他是怎么在叉骨冲锋枪突突下安然无恙的呢…？
别抱着杰拉德陷落系列的希望看，被微冲近距离突突居然都不死
嗯 怎么说 演员都给力 特别是小黑妹 完全不被两个老戏骨落下 剧情三分吧 无功无过 拍摄很多面部近距离镜头 表情深刻 枪战还行 反正演员是大部分的看点
阵容、拍摄、表演、节奏其实都很不错，但是看完总体感觉差点意思，导演显然是想把一个常规犯罪故事拍得脱俗一点、内涵丰富一点、文艺一点，但是效果显然没有达到。
看场面看卡司，应该属于投钱不算少的，居然能拍成这么一个四不像，不着四六的智障范儿，也是挺不容易的。//本来是两星的，直到那个满地打滚，一心要去前线找死的公子哥儿终于求仁得仁，这就是全片最让我爽的一幕了，赶紧在这打止后面不看了，保持这一秒爽。
You’re in the cop business,so that makes you a murderer.But I’m in the murder business,so that just makes a laborer.
小场景的多方对峙警匪片，开局还不错，可惜20分钟后期待开始逐渐消减了，不到一小时第四方反派出现后迅速变为无趣。多方关系拉得一点都不紧绷，三个主角感觉像在玩一样，靠说一些无关紧要的骚话来侧面衬托专业素质这种做法真的一点都不专业，只有一种试图营造运筹帷幄却沦为明晃晃的主角光环既视感。第四个老头杀手更是脸谱化到极点，我的理解是导演想塑造一个小丑型的戏谑混乱反派，只能恭喜导演倒是塑造了一个真正的小丑吧。整部片的后半段就是看几个角色无限装逼，然而装得又缺乏魅力，即便是从装逼、中二这单方面来看，都不及格。
紧张刺激，总体情节和剧情还是不错，动作设定挺不错，扣分地方就是把里面警察的智商全部为了剧情降低，女主一个新警察就是十项全能，同时整个警局都被端了，最后还要被烧，居然没有一个救援，难度大大降低，这个设定太BUG
太紧张，新手警察临危不惧可以的，但是杀手如此嚣张一点点过了
我看过最后的武士的好不好 这个电影人物转变的太不合理了 虽然后半段也是拍的真的可以
有几个地方还可以、但大部分地方都很垃圾、警局的人真的是智商堪忧.尤其是最后死在卫生间的那两位.笑死我了
除了换密码那段比较刺激之外，其他都是浪费时间。杰拉德像是客串出演
2.11 喜劇和正劇反覆橫跳。拉斯普京的转圈圈值得多加一星吧。第一次见到这么奶凶的古古子，像只怪叫吉娃娃。
最后一段死去活来的让全片的构思直接拉胯，编剧大概没想好到底怎么反转，直接选了最土的执行方式
仅有的可以称道的地方是搞对了许多历史的犄角旮旯的细节，譬如怎么杀也杀不死的拉斯普京，访问萨拉热窝时一路惊心无大碍最后却被怪异绝杀的裴迪南大公夫妇等等；然而放大到整体就是一滩完全不知所云的黏稠混合物。另：商业大片里那种CG长镜头真是快看吐我了。
