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'.

其实吧，打斗戏爽点都在，罗素的动作场面确实还行，但除此之外都啥。如果真的拍成不计较剧情的爽片也就罢了，偏偏罗素认认真真在交代漏洞百出的剧情，认认真真在塑造扁平的人设，让每个角色做自以为很聪明实则很迷惑的行为，导致观感直线下滑。不会讲故事就别讲，世界上有很多不需要脑子就能看得很爽的爽片，望所有爽片导演周知。
剧情俗套的不能再俗套了，几乎能猜到下一秒会干什么，不过动作戏很加分，至少不会很无聊，算是合格的爆米花电影吧，只是六号作为特工实在没什么记忆点，反而不如最后拱手让出u盘的那个杀手，也许可以单独开发一部属于他的电影。最后，克里斯·埃文斯虽然可以理解你想极力摆脱美队的影子，但还是建议不要演那么蠢的角色
特工片玩烂的东西还在堆砌缝合，各种枪战动作大场面轮番轰炸，反派弱智，文戏灾难，剧情与节奏都稀碎不堪，跨越半个世界的追杀撕斗结果都沦为走马观花的一幅幅美景，007式的天神降临完美逃脱，再来个大叔配萝莉的温情有爱一面，有钱是真的可以为所欲为，花里胡哨的一通乱秀尽显身手，狂塞的动作戏虽满却冗余无效，最终就是食之无味的平庸，好在主角们个个魅力十足，布拉格大战也十分精彩，勉强三星。
美队骚包的紧身短POLO衫，是不是有什么执念啊，现在一直演反派。两个禁欲系男主，基本没女主什么事，没有也不影响剧情。220724//
是今年截至目前最带劲的动作片，就权当我没见过世面吧！
高司令变身人狠话不多的硬汉感觉还不错，话唠反派的造型Freddie含量太高，以至于看完电影到豆瓣页面才发现他是美队。
要说动作片没新意 也行 打的也不行 唯一亮点那段搞得像小时候过年放炮 西装革履个个装逼有一套 废话贼多 能用枪还非肉搏
应该有续集吧！文字可以忽略
电影工业高度发达了就开始生产流水线垃圾了是吧
花里胡哨。Julia Butters是真美啊

《碟中谍》的低级模仿版。
高斯林古巴妹这主角组合给我看笑了，要啥没啥。这样拍电影我预言奶飞五年内要倒闭
“人生在本质上，是一场意志之战！”——我宣布：瑞恩·高斯林正式升级世界顶级特工
啊啊啊啊啊好格式化的片子！网飞：要风景给你风景 要美女给你美女 要动作戏给你动作戏 要大场面给你大场面，各项都饱和以后就是平庸至极
这片儿给人的感觉是：
斥资两亿美元啊，好一部洗钱大片啊。美队真适合演反派。高司令有REESE那路数，但是还不够深沉但是更面瘫，所以K那个角色真适合他。打得还行，但是情节和双子杀手一个毛病，大概落后时代十年
网飞的大数据电影，虽然看的有点腻味，也没什么惊喜，但这口快餐还是能吃的下去，吃个快餐都要求那么多，只能说“挑食的都应该叉出去”。
演员演技常规在线，但也没有玩出什么花来，毕竟电影水平就摆在这，二者相辅相成，没有特别出彩的地方。女主安娜是真的好看。
再遇《好莱坞往事》里的可爱妹妹好惊喜😍
