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'.

车婶真的太欢乐了，虽然剧情很垃圾，可是车婶很nice
塌的挺快 过程挺扯 活下来的过程也挺太巧合吧
前有埋在隧道里，后有埋再楼里，韩国电影隧道和地陷，不同导演，共同的理念，看来韩国人们内心恐惧被活埋，从而拍了这一些灾难电影。。不过，这部的紧张程度没有隧道好，
2021年所有国产电影，这部电影是我比较喜欢的，热血男儿，虎门销烟，值得宣传的一部正能量电影。
饰演主角华继良的谢苗和反派角色专业户杜玉明不负期待为影片提供了精彩绝伦的打戏，也给有些单一的剧情主线增色不少。影片评论中很多观众讲片子不错但故事简单了点，我深以为然，细纠摄像、后期、演员和角色设定都很有质感，但剧情设定整体冲突感不强，作为直隶钦差大臣仍需克服内忧外患的重重关卡才得以销烟的故事刻画比较简洁，可能拘于影片时长的原因，有些意犹未尽。
图一乐可以看，找摩天大楼那种感觉就赶紧关了吧
作为网大来说很不错了，今年不知道有多少院线巨制比这个差远了
就不行诶 告诉大家灾难来临活下来全凭运气好？救援队感觉也就是个摆设 搞得我想去囤点物资和必要的自救设备以及去学点自救技能 别人和运气真的靠不住
60分吧，像是老干部电影院拍出来的风格，伟光正，给小学生看的爱国主义教育片子，动作啥的还好，故事叙述也还算完整，边边角角的可以忽略就更好了，给多一星给禁毒
这应该是我看过的韩国第一部烂片了，剧情上BUG太多，说搞笑不搞笑，说紧张不紧张。浪费了这么好的阵容，太烂！
灾难片+喜剧效果+1.5倍速，让韩式煽情也尬的很
地陷设定不合理，下陷250米太离谱，雨水倒灌淹没百米深洞太夸张，短时间极速上浮人没事不科学，救灾人员救了个寂寞。
2小时的电影看了半个小时都没进入主题，看不下去了
前面铺垫很有必要但是铺得太久了，每个人人物都有情感需求，但每个点都讲的不透，场面也并不惊喜趋近平庸，着实可惜了
我以为是灾难片，结果给我来了个喜剧片混搭了一点灾难元素。全片过了三分之一才有惊险镜头，搞什么啊？！
就不行诶 告诉大家灾难来临活下来全凭运气好？救援队感觉也就是个摆设 搞得我想去囤点物资和必要的自救设备以及去学点自救技能 别人和运气真的靠不住
评分不高 但我觉得还行啊 进入主剧情 节奏有点慢 但几个情节还是蛮紧张的。黄色潜水艇真令人捉急啊。
超高成本喜剧片了属于是，有不少桥段确实挺逗，还是值得一看的
搞得喜剧不是喜剧，灾难不是灾难，浪费我哎一古金社长的资源！
过于剧本化的“灾难情节”以及什么经典桥段都想模仿的情节设置，让整个故事不论是突出小人物的喜悲还是个人牺牲外界救援等等元素都一塌糊涂。尤其韩国是发生过举世震惊的shoppingmall倒塌事件的，在相似度极高的场景里不分节奏地搞笑，我不能接受。一星半
