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'.

only watched it to test my new dolby vision TV; I wouldn't even finish this stupid thing if not for Gal Gadot's breathtaking looks.
尽管三角形是最稳固的但我也不想给三星，小贱贱真是一日小贱贱终身小贱贱，nothing new就是它最大的原罪，
把各种类型片全加进电影里，结果生搬硬套到烂……
作为大数据电影还是及格了的，Ryan Reynolds现在演什么都是小贱贱，配饭吃还是不错的，即使节奏快也不怕miss掉台词或者情节，还能被几句台词逗笑。
标准爆米花片。这么大牌的cast配这么廉价的打光布景还真是少见。
说实话真的好没意思啊，完全可以看困的片，剧情不用猜都知道，结尾虽然有小反转但也是意料之中，这么各司其职的标签也太明显了，也是给三位目前最红的大咖来个聚会吧
网飞做的最驾轻就熟的东西了，比《毒液2》的娱乐性强多了，看的轻松愉快，就是最后的反转属实没什么必要。（6/10）
最后发现还是成龙的电影才叫动作片。动作片必须一镜到底
标准到不能再标准的偷盗片，我都不知道这是我看到的第几个彩蛋，第几个卢浮宫了。三个人看海报都知道各自什么人设，没头脑和不高兴，外加一个美女神偷，一个美女警察，网飞流水线越来越标准化了。
主要缺点是乳俄戏比新版冷血悍将更弱智。 其他都合格。
剧情当然是没有的，你说它的卖点不是剧情吧，它的视觉效果也没有多出彩，2亿美元不知道花在哪儿了，但凡请个好编剧也不至于这么差。
连反转都刻着套路满满但商业属性拉爆的爆米花大片，三位主角完全都在演自己就足以火花四溅。
质量很烂，巨石强森和加朵完全不来电，但是无脑爽片真的很下饭。
整体来说非常一般的流水账爆米花，好久没看过这种乏味的偷盗类型动作片了，三个演员每个人的角色设定都太太太典型了，故事也是典型的好莱坞流水线剧本。整部片子毫无新意，看的我直打哈欠。另外小贱贱以后接的角色是彻底固定了么，这种贱兮兮话很多的二逼角色，为什么现在他出演的每一部片子都是这种角色风格，实在是太腻了。
太随意了吧，而且在俄罗斯越狱，乱杀狱警，俄罗斯人真就不是人呗
标准爆米花，剧情俗套。不过盖尔加朵够飒够美，拿嘉宾做彩蛋也挺有趣的，挽尊了，值个三星吧
剧情有些冗长~
非常工业化的——我不是来拆散这个家的，我是来加入这个家的。
很一般很一般，如果没有巨石强森，盖尔加朵和小贱贱，这片子恐怕无人问津
看出来很贵了，也算是很合格的商业片。瑞恩越来越巨星范儿了，顶级商业巨星和顶级预算制作，这样的阵容也不走大银幕了，时代真的在改变了。唏嘘。
