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'.

迷惑，这样的剧本是怎样请到这样的阵容的…越到后面剧情越莫名其妙
故事好瞎哦，原来是北欧版王子复仇记，可是他老妈比哈姆雷特的老妈毁三观多了，更不谈那个结局了。。。想看北欧维京人故事的可以看美剧维京传奇和维京传奇衍生剧英灵殿，战争权谋宫斗，个人觉得各方面都比这个拍得好。
哦我对这冗长的神神叨叨的史诗叙事风格的异域的王子复仇记真的提不起什么兴趣来。打来打去就那个村子几十号人。
则差了不少
The death of toxic masculinity
很多人说剧情陈旧，但对我而言，叙事不是电影唯一重要的因素，喜欢的演员，绝佳的摄影，反正我看的时候是挺沉浸的
这太酷了好吗 完全就是一个维京异教黑金属片 邪典影像化的北欧我还是第一次看到 不放首黑金属在片尾太可惜了 唯一的槽点是女武神怎么感觉带牙套了
这不就是性转版本的“地狱之刃：塞娜的复仇”…这种北欧神话风格还真是挺怀念 众神低语…果然北欧人均精神病
声效很强，剧情不评论。总体乏味，既然改就改的彻底一些么。
出乎意料的好，没想到中国的神兽竟然会出现在漫威电影里。
影院看的英文原版，大量字正腔圆的普通话对白。感觉不仅没有辱华，反而将东西文化结合得不错。虽然超级英雄不免有主角光环，但这次反派父亲也是圆形人物，动机是合情合理的，而且伟仔风情依旧，眼神都是戏，最后谢天谢地也没有落入真的弑父的俄狄浦斯俗套，最后特效很像哥斯拉大战金刚哈哈，可惜影院没上3D，总体在漫威日益流水线的商业产品中，还是可以的
华裔版《黑豹》。但不同的是，中国文化没断过根，而且中国文化有一个明确而强大的母国。所以现在的中国观众看这部电影，就会有强烈的文化不适感。于此同时，美国主流白人观众还会觉得惋惜，好可惜，你们居然看不到这部电影……
故事简单，服美乐还行，看看暴力，还有一两个香艳镜头
看不完 看得心绞痛。这是复仇电影啊？？？这是屠村虐杀电影吧！ 留给喜欢的人吧！我不喜欢！！！！
视听语言的堆砌，剧本台词一塌糊涂，导演前两作的邪气荡然无存……美好周末的最后两个小时用来看这个，不太值……
史诗倒是没体会，看这个不如看Alex和安雅谈恋爱倒是真的
终于又有一部年度私人最佳了！！！这种沉浸其中的观影感太久远了！！！
安雅好看捏~。剧情的叙述方式和莎翁剧差不多，先预言再通过实际行为去印证，最终导出结果。复仇的题材很多，主要是看故事的包装，但这部剧情上的包装也过于粗糙。不够引人入胜和曲折。玩过刺客信条英灵殿之后对于维京或者北欧人的生活（衣食住行，神明祭祀种种）和战斗的展现也见怪不怪，没什么新意。摄影和取景非常棒，导演的审美不戳。地狱之门的对决以及白马入英灵殿的桥段拍的最有意境和特色。两星半吧，如果没看过其它北欧人题材的电影可以给到三星到三星半。
野蛮低能 又臭又长 制作的华丽也无法掩盖故事的空洞 这都什么年代了 谁在乎什么狗屁国王荣耀啊 大家都是普通人 都有自我意识 你搁这想感动谁呢？
在这冰寒之地，要不做奴隶劳作，要不做领主杀戮，要不闲着没事打P，无限轮回转换
