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'.

失望，惊悚气氛全无，第二部彻底沦为粗暴的虐杀电影。
七冠的布雷迪是传奇，华纳是个传说。这部电影像是把前些年科特华纳的纪录片翻拍了一遍，前面铺垫很多，后边节奏有点太快了，像是要赶着把故事讲完。七分是比较公允的分数，但是作为一名盼了这部电影十几年的老球迷，我还是选择打高一点。
7.5，相比第一部差太多，没有第一部那种让人窒息的感觉，瞎老头也变成抗日神剧主角，无所不能，不知道还以为是能红外定位，响尾蛇侠；第一部是因为惊险屏住呼吸，第二部只能是因为血腥了，往隔山有眼这类电影方向发展了，现在年纪大了看不得这种
虎毒还不食子呢，制毒夫妻自食恶果也是活该，不过这部也放大了老兵的闪光点，虽然对犯我者毫不留情，但却对狗心怀怜悯。结尾是想让我们看到一个小女兵浴火重生吧。
从恐怖片变《飓风营救》了？老头也太能打了吧，纳美人瑟瑟发抖。一部戏同时完成弑父和弑母的两大悲剧主题，女主也太悲剧了。
小姑娘惨！实惨！被变态老大爷抢去做了假女儿，又被老爸老妈抢回去要她的心脏做手术，各种心塞啊。最后可怜的还是两只狗狗，一个莫名被害，一个被残忍抛弃。老爷子虽然有点变态，也死得其所，但是对女孩来说他是真心爱她的。
小演员不讨喜，好暗看的好辛苦，剧情一般，悬疑惊悚上很鸡肋，那么暗有啥子必要
不要杀约翰维克的狗，不要惹连姆尼森的女儿，不要杀杰森斯坦森的儿子，现在动作片定律又多了一条：不要闯退伍瞎眼老兵的房子。第二部彻底沦为了普通的复仇动作片，剧情简单到一句话就能概括，也没有了第一部心提到嗓子眼的紧张氛围，不过节奏很快，一些小bug可以忽略不计，比如小孩的心脏移植给大人好像不能存活吧。
片名：这是我家2，第一部的新鲜感全无，老混蛋被洗白成了的受害者，以多欺少，不讲武德。
我天真地以为这是一场打败邪恶、一家团聚的好结局，原来翠花的父母是一对大毒枭，找回女儿只是因为翠花她妈得了心脏病，得换心.......
当我看到哈里斯 福特出场后知道男猪必将成就一番事业
变成动作片了，全程硬核，但是跟片名好像没什么关系了。

2021年第255部：老头眼瞎是怎么看到电线的？这些人是要救女孩还是杀女孩。。
前后两段场景呈现出明显的撕裂感，前半段更接近第一部的质感，屏住呼吸，紧张而又刺激，后半段只是纯粹的杀戮，血腥有余，张力不足。整体不如前作。
虽然对手升级变强了，但电影没有第一部好看，节奏变拖沓了点。
就是喜欢看美国拍的这类电影，体育/真实事件改编/励志/热血
这种电影看的就是屏住呼吸的爽和爆裂血腥，就不要在意什么合不合乎常情。两个房子的小格局比第一部拓宽了，却依旧紧凑的步步紧逼，最后小姑娘拿刀把她妈胳膊锯掉又把她爸捅死，看的真的鸡皮疙瘩都起来了。
恐怖片谈不上了，但作为犯罪惊悚片，尤其是满足暴力血腥这一块还是不错的（我其实印象最深的是小女孩拿刀切她妈胳膊那块...怂人以为砍手铐，狠人直接砍胳膊..
