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'.

连姆·尼森终于演了一个不同的角色，但依旧离不开打打杀杀，虽然已经70岁高龄，动作却仍然干净利落。三星。
5.0分。一部完全立意先行的电影，看似有悲凉高深的主题，看似是双线叙事非常牛逼，实则从故事到人物，从动作到表演没有一个能立得起来。由于成本所限只能通篇文戏，大量不明所以对故事推进效果甚微的文戏，剩下的就是搞笑的逻辑。马丁·坎贝尔，连姆·尼森，盖·皮尔斯，莫妮卡·贝鲁奇，别再堕落了，也别再拿着磕药的演技演这种剧本了。
3.5 营救系的连姆•尼森、疾速系的基努·里维斯、狩猎系的麦斯·米科尔森都在老去。。。
圣母美式优越感爆棚片，黑上级，黑上级的白上级，白球花，白儿子，拉丁医生，坏人。一身红勃装，曾经也失忆的盖探员，印裔女探员，好人。营救专业户，正失忆的连大叔，坏（杀手）好（杀手救小女孩，多半悲剧）坏（失手杀警察，肯定悲剧）好（通过公检惩罚元凶），反复横跳。墨西哥裔探员，好坏横跳。放翻拍的20年前，好片，但现在，唉
就那么回事吧，后半部分显得那么无聊又无力。有点故意拖节奏的感觉。21世纪电影的通病。
制作什么的还不错，人性电影，面对内心缺失的巨大诱惑，不是失去理智，就是失去人性
比前几部“营救”片好多了。洛城机密之埃尔帕索外传。
马马虎虎，属于看了也就看了，不看也没必要强求的
这片还行啊，不知道为啥没字幕组做字幕。才知道尼森比成龙还老两岁，未上映的XX营救已经排到了2025年，天啊
马丁坎贝尔导演，连姆尼森大叔又在拼命，饰演已经前期患有老年痴呆症状的杀手，身手了得干净利落除掉贩卖人口的恶匪，最后的正义感爆棚！“球花”莫妮卡贝鲁奇于第35分钟出现，日渐苍老的球花已开始演母亲了，饰演不择手段雇凶杀人的霸道金钱女BOSS，最后被割喉的场面较血腥，真是太不爱惜球花了！影片再次验证金钱利益不公的背后，正义子弹才是公正判决！
6分吧，连姆 尼森老了，莫妮卡更老了。片子没有太多新意，中规中矩吧，看看连姆揍坏人也挺有意思。
快七十的人了，连姆尼森的动作自然是不快的，但还是充满着力量感。基本上不用再期待他能在这个年纪里在荧幕上有新的突破，每看一部他的电影都可以当做是一次对他荧幕生涯的致敬。
有时候这个世间还真的需要那些隐匿在阴影中的暗夜骑士…
也就那样吧，普普通通，最后面一刀出乎意料，很解恨！
真的当天晚上看的，第二天晚上豆瓣上标记时基本已经忘记剧情了，没有留下任何记忆。
连叔也开始攒退休金了….还不如上次那个卡车司机的那部片子了
业余杀手给目标看了脸就走，还有严重的健忘症，什么惩恶扬善，杀手的铁律要遵守。
比较意外的是连姆尼森居然死了，可见导演有心反类型，但还是太简单了，杀手患上老年痴呆症的戏剧性也没做足
法外灭口。难得大叔最后死了。直接叫记忆营救比较好。毕竟都想不起来了……确实把一些存在的现实讲出来了。有些事情按照流程走的很长甚至最终逍遥法外
及格惊悚片 好爸爸还是一如既往老辣 不过，把信息写在手臂上不是盖皮玩剩下来的吗？
