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'.

加菲接的住MJ没接住格温，我真的会难过。剧情太无聊太无聊了，漫威你懂什么是蜘蛛侠！！！
坐标香港：当加菲终于接住她的时候，我是真的哭了，一个跨越了9年的遗憾。当三个蜘蛛侠都因至亲逝去而学会”能力越大，责任越大”的时候，原来无论是什么multi-universe，冥冥之中命运的发展可能都有不可阻挡的注定
4.5吧，绝对优秀的粉丝向电影。一个孩子如何成为英雄，荷兰蛛终于有了自己的泪与成长。其实激动的不是三虫同框，而是老粉当年在他们身上看到的“悲剧性”如今如何破局扭转的故事。加菲的眼泪绝对是本片的高光段落。而那只被cue到的平行宇宙的小黑蜘蛛，也在另一个世界发着光啊。“能力越大，责任越大。”绝不仅仅是八个字而已，这部是给蜘蛛侠老粉的时光礼物，哭。爽。了。感谢索尼。#k11 一刷
感觉有点不懂要拍什么，但又想赚钱（，不对，是想引出“多元宇宙”），所以就干脆把前两任蜘蛛侠和反派拉出来遛一圈，然后说这就是多元宇宙。。。
无语至极。搞这么出圣母心泛滥的戏码伤人又害己，还为此付出惨痛代价，奇异博士、梅姨、哈皮做错了什么要承受这些。除却三代同框的情怀也确实没啥好说了，感怀加菲这一次终于接住了MJ。
都三代同堂了还要啥自行车，Tony在屏幕上表演放屁都行
怎么说呢……开头漫威，结尾索尼。故事线是一锅乱炖，但情结是真的。
这一部应该叫做《熊孩子：无家可归》。愚蠢的善良比邪恶更害人，Dr. Strange脾气真是太好了（的确也是打不过这熊孩子）。三代蜘蛛侠齐聚必须再加一星！故事不重要，重要的是，这一次，他接住了她。
三代蜘蛛侠齐聚一堂，既满足了情怀，也解释了因为版权而产生的bug。在经历了一连串的烂片后，漫威总算是勉强复苏了。
给熊孩子天龙人专门儿拍一部，还好国内没引进，这不浪费大家钱吗💩
越来越觉得这版蜘蛛侠好烦…吸引我看的点是奇异博士、夜魔侠客串和三蜘蛛同框。Andrew Garfield totally outshined the others.
封闭期间随便看看，还是最喜欢托比-马奎尔演的第一代蜘蛛侠，包括当时威廉-达福演的绿魔，又让我想起那句经典台词：能力越大，责任越大
三蛛同框yyds，蜘蛛侠没有亲人朋友了也太惨了吧
電影並不完美，但找不到不打五星的理由。這種破天荒的拍法，幾能斷定往後二十年也難以複製。
2022-03-18 哪怕是粉丝一晚上写十个大纲，也很难有一个糟糕成现在这样。
奇异博士施咒翻车的例子告诉我们，施魔法的时候别打嘴炮
为了同框，剧情稀烂，小虫圣母到害死梅姨，成长的代价也不能直白的愚蠢吧，这一集小虫能力大打折扣，依托“责任越大”那句说辞，反而失误频频，本不该下线的角色强行下线，三代同框的确惊喜，氛围也异常尴尬，几大反派和三代蜘蛛集结，但打斗场面缩水，成本刻意制衡，没达到漫威高能硬核场面的1/3，三部曲终结章，话题度情怀度占据主导，反而视觉冲击上平平收场，水准只能是多元宇宙的铺垫集，以及三虫弥补遗憾的救赎篇，类比电影中那句名台词，果然是期望越高，失望越大。★★☆
自007后被国产带片轮番宣传喂奥利给之后，终于看上一部假期猛片，不负我车马劳顿澳门一日游。5年三部曲，一步步看到荷兰弟和乔•沃茨导演水平的成长。精准得恰住荷兰虫的风格，前辈回归也能很清晰地看到他们心与神到台词有多契合角色的经历与年龄。不仅是荷兰弟的阶段性总结，更是从索尼当年的得与失中对蜘蛛侠银幕形象的解释说明。只可惜，漫威如今庞大的商业体系，愈发担忧日后再无可能看到一部纯正的solo电影了。
三代同堂卖情怀！结尾奇异博士的彩蛋似乎更值得期待～
