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'.

男主的行为让人看不懂，没本事，又蠢，还喜欢自做聪明，耍英雄。要不是主角光环不知道要死多少回
现实诈骗题材，立意不错，节奏人设都挺到位，电信诈骗太害人了
有点乳化，不过还是学到了点防电信诈骗的东西
还不错
电影的质感很好，或许只用一部电影很难全面地讲述一个重大的历史事件，但也可管中窥豹。不忘历史，铭记先辈。
“这漫天飞舞的 百姓的怒火啊！”
真没想到，这部片子还不错，谢苗演的很好。这个角色很适合他。值得一看。
整体没什么出色的表现，但电信诈骗专家的表现还是能留下一些记忆点的。
这就是个穿着古装的现代缉毒警匪片，太现代了！好像走错了片场…能看出导演想好好拍，可惜功力差很多啊！着重说下谢苗！形象够用！身手够用！可以说是个不可多得的人才！但是机遇没到，演技差很多！需要碰个大导演好好雕琢雕琢，不然白瞎了！继续这么整肯定是行不通的！真的！

还行。把诈骗套路都说的很清楚了。就是现在国内已经没有呼叫中心了。都转移到东南亚了。整体还算流畅。为啥我们拍的巨额来电看着就这么奇怪呢。就是在国内这个韩国police居然领导ga，这不合理。
片子有徐克张彻的即视感，谢苗可以拿这个网大做敲门砖，形象气场还不错。
作为网大，应该算及格吧，演员明星还是有一些，林则徐的那位演员虽然不熟，但是还是挺沉稳，只是形象上稍微胖了点！谢苗也还不错，他这个年龄段能打的人也不多了，杜玉明老演员了，老把他和季春华搞混。跟谢苗演对手戏的那个演员不是很熟悉，三番五次，总是每次死不了，连船上火烧爆炸都没弄死，有点太夸张了
男主各种拼了老命都感觉很废的样子到底是为什么...全程无语“哈？就这？”，无论是犯罪部分还是抓人部分都挺像过家家...金武烈演挺好...
被枪打穿了臂，依然灵活自如，被刀穿了胸，晚上要来个热水澡…铁打的人呐。
“豫大人，不要忘记了，你是大清的官员。”
可以说这部片子就是浪费时间 剧本多烂自然不必说 细数一下 滥用音乐是一点 且这个音乐出来极度拉胯 全片一个半小时 几乎三分之一都是在打斗 而且很多都是桥段像极了“抗日神剧” 甚至乎 我现在花时间写下这段短评就是在浪费时间 但是唯一值得一提的就是摄影还勉强过得去 其他真的想不出什么可值得夸了
2星给画面，剧情不合理，浮夸，传统的港式单挑，男主光环，不中那枪多好，没必要
电话诈骗的电影，挺真实，也挺恐怖，个人信息的极端化利用。
无论是服化道还是故事情节都堪称完美，打的凌厉潇洒，而且没有一点多余的狗屁爱情，如果片子里面再仔细表达一下鸦片吞噬人心的吸烟画面就更好了
