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'.

机关算尽太聪明，反误了卿卿性命。俄罗斯女麻豆演员是亮点。
低配版普罗米修斯，一些个场景挺有新意，尤其那艘冰冻邮轮和前面被冻在冰面里的难民，最终男女主因为母爱和普世价值，叛国了，使得生化武器最后都没生化的了。可最后也没交代帅哥在片头把女主一个人留在大马路上，自己去小黑屋里干嘛去了……唯一呼应的是吵架时女主质问男主替代的是谁，那个人为什么没能来，意思那个人可能像自己一样被男主晾在大马路上，最后被…咳咳。
情节3，表演3，画面3，寓意1，尿点2 = 12/25，48分电影
要命…这也太烂了吧 辛苦女主配合导演硬凑这90来分钟
废物 竟然被你活下来了 女主啥也不是 灭他族啊！
挺具有悬念的一部电影，情节扣人心弦，女主角演的不错，蛇蝎美人，令人不寒而栗。男主这智商也是真的堪忧，智商和情绪的控制方面实在不太符合他的身份。另外马尔科维奇这个糟老头子是真的在跑龙套吗？这角色存在有什么意义？还有那个同志室友也是，完全游离于剧情之外，除此之外全片剧情设计还是颇为紧扣的，结尾呢有点俗套，毕竟类型片嘛。

虽然剧情很扯淡，但是光是女主的颜值就让整部电影显得更加有趣。
最后烂尾了，开始还不错，氛围感很好，最后女主死的时候，居然良心发现，也太假了，杀他继父那一段，铺垫也不够。
所以我要五星来顶一把。
结尾强行降智被反杀就离谱 女主又美艳又狠心 我想她赢ㅠㅠ
“这不是对付敌人的武器，是对付全人类的，他们躲进了地堡里，却拉全世界下水”
这是双方强行降智演绎的吗?停车场跳车是导演还是编剧被驴踢了???
为了看女主全程没眨眼，四分全给女主角(⁎⁍̴̛͂▿⁍̴̛͂⁎)*✲ﾟ*
导演你这个做法就有点不地道了，找这么美的女主骗炮（骗评分）？话说很多时候女主像极敲敲门里的安娜。
有些镜头还可以，其实反应的是母爱的故事，所以当做文艺片看会更好。
故事情节惊险刺激，反派女主时而清纯可人，时而灭绝人性，让人大呼过瘾，最后的反转和落泪是点睛之笔，让人回味无穷
在这场该死的战争中，获得自由的唯一途径，就是拒绝服从他们的命令。
看了预告就对女主一见钟情
不晓得我看懂没：一对美国小情侣在别国出车祸，女票死了，美国男还陷入到一场美国策划的分裂他国的政治阴谋中，一场希腊版追捕上演的故事
