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'.

杰洛特一定是因为脑子太好所以年少秃头的吧！
十年后，已经对血浆乱喷的cult片硬不起来了...
5.0，还是游戏的那股风味啊，命运斗转，两害相权，“没有了怪物，我们就成了怪物”，和wow的恶魔猎手一样，如果后会无期，那么祝你死得其所。
抓到了原著和游戏 勿以恶小的精髓 维瑟米尔强好多啊 不敢相信竟然死在狂猎手里（心痛
维瑟米尔确实帅，但是好像吃了设定吧吗，起码游戏里妹子最后不是这样死的。
电影的题材，和开篇那种带点无厘头的几次反转还是挺有意思的，细节做的也不错，带点反套路，笑点虽然不算搞笑，但也还挺有意思，不过剧情进入后半段就变得越来越套路了，夫妻慢慢醒悟，联手干掉匪徒，血腥味越来越浓，无厘头味却越来越淡，笑点也没有了，变成了普普通通的套路剧情，前后两部分的风格割裂的像是两部电影，前面是无厘头，后面是正经的血浆电影，夫妻不和到想杀对方本来就很黑色幽默，从三个匪徒出现，其实可以将黑色幽默一直延续下去，设计更多的人物不停的加入，让事件越来越失控，最后妻子也没拉丈夫上来，电影却选择了最保守，最无聊，也最不喜剧的方式讲完了下半部电影，使电影变成了普普通通的爆米花电影
真是一对亲夫妇，一个要将对方分尸沉湖，一个要意外终结他，到了危急的时候又愿意拿出所有私藏守卫他的贞操了，有趣，我笑了，但时间太长了，人均三条命。最后拍好莱坞电影还搞个黑人去，你们也晓得美国流行的政治正确啊
前半段确实要好一些，后面可能突然发现剧组的血浆道具准备多了，得使劲撒一撒

没有在说我自己
喜欢这类多视角叙事的。前十分之一不断反转：螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后。后面就套路化了，删掉老爷子的多余剧情会好些。本以为最后还会有反转的，哎～
韦瑟米尔大叔当年能打啊，一人战狮鹫大狮鹫还有别的无数怪物。女术士引怪攻凯尔莫汉解释了它现在建筑的破败。杰洛特小时候是个光头
有点《鬼灭之刃》的感觉，但好像没有《鬼灭之刃》好看。
作为凯尔莫罕之战的缘起，本片的主线故事情节略微单薄。单独一位女术士被塑造成了最终反派，人类群体对于异端的恐惧与愤怒的爆发点，这在情绪上不够剧烈也缺乏逻辑。与巫师三游戏中当女术士群体成为人类讨伐的异端对象时，那种广泛的狂热相比，真是相形见绌。但这不算致命，本片对于维瑟弥尔背景故事的补完，以及对巫师世界后续故事发展的细节暗示，都令我这个游戏忠粉狂喜不已。科德温国王即愚昧肤浅又是不折不扣的自恋狂。尼弗加德民俗彪悍颇为严苛。联想起巫师三故事中国家间的征服与灭亡，不禁令人感叹成败的定数实际上早已在不曾被人想见的过去就已经埋下了。这又与本片的另一主题相呼应，时间。人类，王国，怪兽和自然的命运都历经着沧海桑田残酷的变化，作为一切故事的见证者，精灵，术士和猎魔人们强大的生命力又未尝不是诅咒。
看的英语版，配音带着伦敦腔，有些尴尬；剧情没有那么多的冲突，主要没玩过游戏，所以共鸣不多。
6，能让摔得稀碎的破镜重圆的粘合剂，唯有金钱。
老爷子年轻时真挺帅的，杰洛特小时候竟然是光头，这个点挺好玩的，故事其实就挺普通的，而且有点儿强化猎魔人的能力，不过总体还是挺吸引我的
看了一集，作画还是典型的棒制美式动画，鉴于无其他的必看优点，弃
没看过原著、没追过剧集、也没玩过游戏的路人观众，感觉平平无奇。
5，贪念如虎。
