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'.

也就这样吧别抱太高的期待，还是那种故事牺牲救人，救人牺牲。
三星因为廖启智&方中信#这类型黑金、黑警的电影，好像是中国台湾、韩国会拍的比较好！
emmm…没啥感受，就觉得香港那边的人保养的挺好。
我好久没看过这么差的港片了…这种卡司，这种故事，是认真的吗？好多情节和走向根本都没交代清楚啊，好差劲哦…
最后了剧情意外得还挺流畅的，再次感慨堤叔和情怀黑道适配度百分之千，疯蝴蝶好可爱www
①案子不复杂 人物太多线太多 导致不像法庭戏 全在讲述背景
很好的构思，就是导演的功力不足以覆盖这么多线，反而杂乱无章了
打五星只因虽然九年过去了，到依然是原汁原味儿，终结篇没有因为演员变老了而变一点儿味儿。九年前的斗真颜值巅峰，那时自己觉得自己也还是年轻人，九年过去了，斗真的脸不再那么精致，自己也觉得自己是个中年人了。
无语，时空错乱的封闭鬼屋……地缚灵qwq 也没有起源的前因后果……还可以其实～～韩国恐怖还挺多样～～这什么神经病贵鬼 无语死了
多么豪华的阵容，鲍起静，方中信，廖启智，曾江，谭耀文，以及友情客串廖碧儿，电影级的阵容可惜在了一个非常脆弱的连电视单元剧都不如的剧本里。即便如此，大家的演出仍然稳定之上。多给的两颗星一颗给智叔，一颗是看到曾江带的助听器。港片式微，但是仍要感谢这班演员依旧坚持自己对电影的热爱
NO.2194：眼睛都要看瞎了，就没亮几分钟。所以男主其实也是死掉了，一直以为自己还没死而已吧。
真的太黑了所以鬼到底咋的抓人的你根本看不见。故事情节还可以，不同时间段的人穿越，还有里世界的感觉，恐怖氛围是够的，但就是没有特别出彩的地方。
世上最脱力卧底主题电影系列之一吧？三池崇史和宫九再次展现日本人恶搞能力虽感觉不如前两部玩的开但该有的感觉还是回来了。生田斗真颜艺和不能入目的吻！最后圆满结局
一直期待着推向最后的高潮，然后就结束了……
剧情很一般，但大家的演技很不一般，除了陈家乐～
鬼诱人，救鬼，妈妈帮，模仿了《昆池岩》和《第六感》
听表声，询问姓名出生年，让驱鬼仪式非常有派头。
4.6/10 当把一个复杂至一定程度的作品, 交给一个不会叙述故事的人, 其结果就如本作。 多线并行加上时空间穿梭的故事, 在毫无章法且缺乏条理的叙事下, 混乱不堪同时也难以理解。 缺乏一致性的行动让所有角色如出一辙, 好似全部具有多重人格。 叙事的不力更严重加深本片的不快感, 不适感以及混沌感。 老式的惊吓手法对于类型发烧友而言毫不奏效, 反而让影片更显拖沓笨拙。 然而不幸中的万幸, 在于对为数不多的几样道具尚且有效的利用, 以及场景搭建和氛围营造的些许亮点。 此外在特殊影厅, 依靠三面环绕荧幕以及动感座椅的加持, 为影片添加了更多趣味。
自作聪明的反转白瞎了“时空旅行者与地缚灵”这个有点新意的想法。
看到第三部确实是腻了，特别是开头。就好奇蝴蝶犬的日常生活其他提不起兴趣
