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'.

瞎老头版《疾速追杀》，前半部分观感更好，最后被二连背后杀给整笑了
真特么为这些坏分子着急啊，一帮拿着烧火棍的废物，连狗都看不起你们。
m21234：狗还是有情感辨识的。还不错，水波纹一段，绝妙，还留点人性。
从惊悚片变成了纯血浆片。但还挺感人。“我可以救你”“你已经救了”。
盲公洗白之作，整体比前作血腥很多，为了杀戮而杀戮，少了窒息感，可能想往anti-hero上靠
一个墨西哥裔小老外推荐的，说2021他认为最好看的电影……呃……不好看！
剧本还是套路满满，基本能猜个大概，看结尾应该还要再往下拍，这几年不知道怎么回事，各种续拍，实在是没什么新意，就像这部续集，人物动机完全是为了配合剧情强行找合理性，跟第一部的扣人心弦比起来，我感觉呼吸很顺畅，不需要屏住！这两个剧本放在一起就像是双胞胎，一个是互撕完了发现被绑架的肇事者，另一个是互撕完了发现父母亲要移植心脏，最后都是大难不死并留下一个幸存者，你说这有什么区别？不过也不是一无是处吧，本来这类电影也不能指望会有什么新花样，纯属图一乐，好在打斗部分还是可圈可点，而且这次反派的阵容增强了，所以观感上更加为老人捏一把汗，另外全片唯一的笑点就是反派的狗撕咬主人的时候，难道不是因为他开枪打掉了它的狗盆吗？哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
虽然剧情有一些老套 但是整部片子还是挺流畅的 追车的戏拍得也不错 虽然没有杰森斯坦森的身手 但是打斗起来也非常真实 一开始以为小姐姐也就是20出头 查过才知道原来已经30岁了 散发染发显得很年轻 小朋友是真的很帅气 小演员以后有前途
残暴、挑战价值观。忘记第一部的内容了，编剧也是为了提升瞎子海豹老兵的胜率煞费苦心。
第一部的惊悚风格变成了血浆风。加入了小孩却减弱了屏住呼吸的概念，多少有点得不偿失吧。
追逐戲不錯，孩子也可愛
亲生父母猪狗不如。养父看不见，倒也重情重义。
tough，very tough， but only tough！
故事发生在最初致命的入室抢劫之后的几年，眼盲的退伍老兵诺曼过着平静的生活，并且把女儿培养的训练有素。但是仅有的一次小女儿外出，却被道出搜寻女子器官的犯罪团伙盯上，找他们要拿走女孩的心脏……
第二部虽然故事模式相像，但已经把恐怖氛围摘除出去了，变成纯打赤膊的动作片，小兵敢死队与老头再次斡旋，硬碰硬的荷尔蒙爆炸，血腥暴力尺度尚可，有些做了转场处理，故事其实挺屎的，但老头子的赎罪之路没停歇，小萝莉这回也继承其衣钵，灵动和身手也不错，上一集的屏气凝神之感这回荡然无存，动作片的爽利却及时补救，比较出色地完成了容易被诟病狗尾续貂的续集之作，不拖沓不扯闲篇，已经是对类型片剧作结构的最好塑造，故事还没有落幕，风云依旧可以再起！★★★☆
打斗片，错付了，等了boss有五十分😂好在质量还行，气氛突出，反转激烈。🐶子给满分
洗白大会？可能挺精彩的吧，但是画面太黑，看不清演了什么。
这个系列就是用来挑战人类道德底线的吧。这一部更恶心，亲妈亲爹要杀女儿取心脏为了自己活命，为了能继续制毒赚钱。最后女儿亲手剁了亲妈的手，捅死了亲爹。第一部是封闭空间虐杀，这一部变成了格斗绝杀类的了。
受制于感官缺失的恐惧氛围全然散尽，失望透顶的续作。
反转真是没想到。捉迷藏的长镜头张力十足。狗情义的刻画很不错。其它部分执行得一般般。硬蹭了第一部的流量，剧情其实可以说毫不相关，以至于“盲”这个属性编剧已经懒得去圆，主人公的刻画直接是照着健全人的模式套。
