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'.

或许是本来带的期待不高，所以其实看下来感觉还行。节奏的问题其实老版也有，但是感觉新版更严重了，两个小时的电影，前一个小时尼罗河，后一个小时惨案（手动滑稽）。不过最大的问题还是出在演员的演技上吧，虽然花钱砸了卡司可是为什么每个人的表演都那么模式化，感觉每个演员都是自己而没有带入角色，都有一种很用力很刻意的感觉。镜头的美感还是有的，新版埃及观光片名副其实。怎么说呢，确实不能说特别差，可就是感觉明明这么多年过去了，对比老版却没什么进步，新加的改编也没有处理的很好，总之就是可以一看的一个整体观感吧。
完全是一个二维的平面的电影，没有空间、没有时间、没有角色。

相当出彩了，谢苗可以来个东北警察系列下去，近年来很难得的国产警匪动作了。打戏凌厉，但其实还可以更好看一点；另外靠偶遇那个被欺负的小孩后来想到线索有点可惜，这条线以及反派三兄弟的塑造都不够完整，警察资料提现了三兄弟各有特点但剧情里并没有刻画出来，这一点可以学学杀破狼三兄弟，这样一来时长至少可以拉到一小时四十分钟，可以更好
come on政治正确滚出全世界好吗？还是再看看老版洗洗眼睛。加朵很美，但是也没必要全程露背装。真是受够了。如果设定还是30年代，就没必要加进黑人、lgbt元素吧？不政治正确会死人是吗？菠萝也非常非常地没礼貌，从没见过这么垃圾的菠萝。不会拍可以别拍，拍这么个恶心人的东西。
拒绝魔改！最不能接受的点：都掏出枪来互指(拜托不是西部片) 在这之前的改编还勉强能接受；信口指证推石头的人 零推理 那人竟然还当场承认；波罗有好几个特写像希特勒 还剃胡子...槽多无口啊
就是说这个节奏啊 前一个小时也是不知道咋干嘛，后面案子出来后节奏更是清奇，推理全靠一场戏用嘴先挂。真的不行。
那对拉拉让我好激动啊！！原来不是主仆关系，而是老妇老妻！演员都表现得很好，只是失去了英国片特有的含蓄，充满浓浓的好莱坞风情味，以及，这版的波洛有点严肃。
我没看过小说或者之前的电影。感觉还不错。尤其后半部分推理起来就明显感觉紧凑了。。虽然刚开始就怀疑过凶手是他，但不在场证明确实洗刷了嫌疑。要怎么说阿婆厉害呢后面给的解释不仅让行凶合理。也让爱情合理了。
开场以为误入1917，波洛前史基本另开了同人小说，最大的亮点可能是追风筝的人？多条爱情线有些过于泛滥，反而失去了阿婆出其不意的深情浪漫，可能导演本来也无意展开推理过程，加入了不少喜剧冒险元素，每次搬运尸体的女童子军和最后的木乃伊终极cos都有点诡异的恶趣味。
影调气氛非常好。凶手阴谋的最大缺陷是请了波洛上船。
剧情有点简单，打斗戏还不错，干脆利落。尤其在医院护理间、公共汽车等小空间里的戏挺漂亮，这种地方不好打，也不好拍，动作设计要费些心思。
前半部分看着还挺不错，但后半部分的冲突太过儿戏
剧情和动作戏也就上世纪好莱坞或者香港的基本盘水平，咱们这君乐 宝同志还能吹成三星半？好好说你究竟收了爱歧义多少w才吹这网络大电影，还自诩自己每日一片专业看片的，害不害臊

出乎意料的可以，給武術指導加雞腿，拳拳到肉，酣暢淋漓，感覺有點像韓劇動作片。 (沒想到謝苗都這麼大了。
天呐 怎么会这么烂……… 我看了大概30分钟就不想看了。78版珠玉在前，这个版本摄影、逻辑、角色乱七八糟。导演的ego 如斗大
难得，可以看。终于算是认真点了～谢苗拍现代戏真是比拍古装顺眼太多了，而且动作设计也适合他，他拍古装太僵硬了。ps：戳脚真是一门街头打架的好功夫
开头几分钟真的很让人误会，但是看到最后又彷佛明白前面的铺垫，只是为什么要在这个故事里要穿插波洛的故事？
（3.5粒星兒）Emma實在是好美～ 尤其紅裙走來的造型！開片就猜想過兩個人是不是為了女主的錢而要工作機會 後來的紅色顏料丟失大概就猜到了軟飯老公為了遺產 總體中規中矩吧 但審美是在線的 結局雖然開放式但男主還挺浪漫～
