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'.

视听很不错了，首尾的动画很好看，几首配乐很到位，喜剧感拉满，但就还是有挥之不去的舞台剧味道，很抱歉我不是这种麻花味喜剧电影的受众。
故事挺有意思的，流浪地球 与 火星救援 的结合体，末日求生片是我的菜，有几段配乐尤其合适，如腾格尔的那段及男主发现能与地球人联系后欣喜若狂地修理飞船的音乐，有笑点有泪点，特别是地球人集体亮灯就为告诉月球上的男主不是只有他一个人时好感动，足够了 和AZ@北京路星汇电影院

3.5期望越大失望越大，披着科幻各种致敬旧梗有点好笑的老麻花片了…
亮点有四：1. BGM很符合情景和共鸣；2. 好久没看到这么真实并美丽的马丽、以及这么帅的沈腾的证件照；3. 结局没有强行复活，然后来个合家欢；4. 电影的配色不错。总体的立意还行，但是看完有一种被故意煽情的感觉，而且里面的部分梗抛出来得并不自然。
前半部喜剧+科幻，重在视听。四处偷师、足够准确但不成体系的视听语言，被喜剧类型的打法乱拳锤得还算平整，但也熨平了一切本该有的消极和紧张，模糊了地球所有角色的面目。后半部科幻+主旋律，重在文本。科幻层面将爱情升级为对宇宙尺度下残忍和浪漫的认知，但女主作为“大局观”活体传声筒，也就让爱情与家球情怀挂钩，让个体为集体的牺牲收束于心甘情愿的受虐情结。前半部主旋律为失语者赋予神化声音却弄巧成拙，尚且还有些含混的语气，中段却开始将主角打造成宇宙最后的完人，多声部退化为众口一词的颂歌，在敷衍的道德困境里勉力自我感动。整个片子的状态，就像片中一个群众的手，被缠紧了绷带固定成点赞状，当绷带被揭开，是一只铁拳攥紧了铁钳。主旋律就是这么攥着科幻电影工业，受着伤也要拗出个中国赞。这么看，片子不如改名叫《逆行月球》。
大小设定都很火星救援，致敬了一下异形和2001太空漫游
电影院座无虚席，但是看得如坐针毡。这七拼八凑的剧情，基本梗都是能预估的俗套，几分钟来一次的主旋律升华…不如看八一建军。
全片最好笑的最有黑色幽默的点是马丽说的那句，沈腾不是被丢下了是自己主动放弃了回地球的名额，让给了别人。终于在电影院看到了一点黑色幽默般的讽刺，就如同这里。
作为以科幻为背景的作品，又没有去深入展开要说的命题，搞笑也只是浮于表面的笑点。开心麻花始终没有跳出自己的舒适圈，剧情干瘪，靠沈腾卖力强行堆砌所谓的笑点，真难为了沈叔叔了。开心麻花这几年的作品质量可谓是每况愈下，这源自于对观众日益提升的观影水平没有一个好的估计，从而没有调整好自己的创作方向。所以，出来的作品总达不到观众所期待的高度，被人吐槽也是理所当然的。
如果一点科学都不讲，应该还算完整流畅跌宕起伏
两星半。不能说很难看吧，就是不对味。从第一秒人物没有立住之后，后面无论是喜剧部分，还是拯救时刻，都没有给我带来快乐或是感动。男主对于爱情的追求是盲目的，不知所以的，抛出了中间人的概念压根没有戏来印证，人物的虚浮让一切都显得虚假空洞。
马丽有点面瘫 可能是角色要求 这部的含腾量很足 感人的地方看哭 搞笑的地方还可以 歌都很好听 看到有原著漫画 打算找来看看
谢谢 笑不出来 除了《流浪地球》的特效团队保驾护航让科幻像那么回事儿 其他都严重退步了 还是夏洛特烦恼和西虹市首富看着过瘾
谁会不喜欢一只又萌又能打又贪吃的袋鼠呢！关键时刻它是真的能救命啊

太喜欢袋鼠拉车那段了，浩瀚星辰的背景太浪漫了！国产电影年度镜头。时隔166天终于有一部电影可以再度走进影院。音乐用的比较满，但还都是不错的很顶，想找原声带，前后笑料和泪点的铺排比重有些两端，含腾量不小也还是看的不够。独孤月就是我的云天明啊【泪目】
都是融梗感觉还不如月球陨落，这电影老套到感觉不像21世纪的产物。。。。
下班回到家，有人为你亮起一盏灯......影片不仅有笑，还有温暖
