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'.

不糟糕的电影 极糟糕的改编，把一个1930s的故事讲得特别现代也算是导演的本事，其手段包括但不限于：往120min里尽可能多地糅进看似丰富却无益于人物塑造的戏、为体现“巧思”多此一举地把所有人物都和主角扯上一些关系、以及购买华丽的现代成衣哄演员穿上并骗他们我们这个片子的背景是上世纪30年代😅
出乎意料之外，特别接地气，好看得很，我喜欢这样风格的警匪片，比怒火重案好。
短小精悍的网大动作片，质量超出预期，谢苗的形象也不错，期待能跟香港那些动作片大导演多在大银幕上合作合作，未来可期。
大胡子依然维持硬汉推理风格，比之前的东方快车好一点，有限。不过拍的这么肉 欲 真的好么？怀念那版X冷淡风，平 胸 的林奈特又美又霸道。
和water 聪岩看的
三星半。又一套老式大製作，上半主戲前極為輝煌，查案戲肉反而相對失色。全明星陣容其實不太必要。
其实换一些演技好的老戏骨来演，观感可以上升很多很多，反派演的不够狠，正派又不够彪，差那么一点意思。
马景涛一样一惊一乍的侦探，真是有点受不了。肯尼思的这一系列改编，真让人败好感，总觉得他是个特自恋的人。还好jodie comer没接这个破戏。
比1978年版本差是早有心理准备的 但为什么造型和灯光搞得每个人都很油腻
一开始交代背景花了比较多笔墨，还好每个人物都演得不错，在原版基础上都有所突破，同性恋那段有点刻意，可惜最后的推理过程有点薄弱，加一颗星给壮美的埃及美景~
莎婆的小说让故事立住了，但这版本的侦探显得有些软弱无用，最终的真相也省略了一些推理的过程。所幸良辰美景不虚设，盖尔加朵cosplay的埃及艳后也让人惊艳了一把。
6.5分。其实如果不清楚原作，也没看过老版的话，这个故事也不是不能看。但既然翻拍经典，那自然是免不了要进行比较。服化道这种硬件来看的确是进步太多太多了，可惜Kenneth Branagh太有想法，加了一大堆的私货，还给侦探珀洛不断加戏，使得整体的故事非常“散”。当然Gal Gadot还是没话说，各种大镜头打上去真的是美艳不可方物呢~~
是阿加莎都要气活的程度。本想说重返影院会是一件多么惬意的事，老黑屋群像、推理、悬疑所有我最爱的电影元素拉满…然而除了色调画面略可圈点之外，其他emmmm
京腔警察闹东北，胜在节奏明快，动作设计有点追求，挑战狭迫空间，突出痛感，打戏医院一场最佳，可惜故事没啥意思，人物也潦草，反派人设看得出想搞点反差，但没成功。魏君子专心搞网大这块应该挺有钱途。
不纠结改设定这类问题的话其实还行，毕竟都看了这么多版魔改的福尔摩斯了，来点魔改的波洛倒也无伤大雅。
（3.5粒星兒）Emma實在是好美～ 尤其紅裙走來的造型！開片就猜想過兩個人是不是為了女主的錢而要工作機會 後來的紅色顏料丟失大概就猜到了軟飯老公為了遺產 總體中規中矩吧 但審美是在線的 結局雖然開放式但男主還挺浪漫～
看开头的时候我妈问我，他是不是放错了，我们看的对不对呀？
比东方快车差好多，比旧版选角也逊色很多，整场看得昏昏欲睡，终于知道为啥这么多人骂这个波洛侦探了，也太装逼了，明明上一部看着还好🙃
加星鼓励～
其实相对来说还是挺喜欢这个版本的风格，优秀的作品需要不同时代的技术和理解将它传承
