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'.

叠加了主角光环的大女主爽片，看得还蛮过瘾的～
好尼玛无聊啊，打戏也勾不住我。每当这种时候我就觉得这种片子也有人投资，真的能赚钱吗？？
其实还可以看看，如果你把这当作《杀手妻子的保镖》番外或平行宇宙，以及尼基塔大战老蝙蝠侠的话。。。
局长依旧稳
糟蹋了这个阵容。话说越南权贵就是这么一帮骑手厂妹？
实在是太无聊了，真的很催眠，不倍速播放真的是看不下去。故事真的是一团糟，叙述混乱，打戏也很乏味，很老套，不过男女主打着打着就x上了是啥逻辑？！搞笑呢！最后的结局也是很仓促的就结束了，幸好巩皇没有接这个剧本，否则，真的是晚节不保！
打戏过关，动作合理，除了颜值都是老人家...
超级英雄大行其道，老派动作片也难以独善其身。
冲着李美琪看的，我感觉剧情不好，叙事方式也不好，故事讲不明白。就知道女主师傅死了，又没死，最后爆炸了他死没死？女主跟另一个杀手一会儿相杀，一会儿上床，一会儿又相杀，最后谁死谁没死？其他的剧情完全没看懂
又是杀手又是特工又是孤儿又是被救又是培训成全能型~
突出李美琪可以理解。前面是标准的商业动作片套路也整得不错。。。但是故事你要编圆点啊，走点心啊……后期那是什么玩意啊？
如果没有续集的话 那这部电影整个感觉是没有灵魂的动作戏，也没有想象中那么多的action scene，有点不知所谓
塞缪尔杰克逊中途下车只有两种解释，一是假死，二是合同事故，谈不拢，拍了两天素材就让其强行下车，这样就根本谈不上张力，而是担心他与剧组的关系，问题就在这里：你不能在动作片里让大咖早早潦草挂掉。
业务范围很广，遍布全球。为什么要杀掉他，忘掉这一切，真是一个对赌协议啊。
此电影改变了公主以往的形象，以武力出奇取胜，这个演员付出很多努力，也是拼了。虽然场景和剧情基本只有一处，但很像游戏的最后一关，杀的挺过瘾！
一部爽片，结尾没看懂。开头戴口罩有点穿帮了
虽然动作片，不应该太纠结剧情，但这剧情也太水了，甚至鬼扯，不排除是在愚弄观众！
看个热闹吧，最不可思议的是女主躲过了七八个人的追杀逃出大楼，竟然一出门被车撞，逗我玩呢？
MQ这么又老又干瘦的，却能干倒体重两倍的壮汉，装p啊
没有多少可圈可点之处，纯粹是为了看Magie Q，有意思的是如此俗套的戏路，竟然还能吸引“鸟人”来参演，难道也是为了美人而来？
