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'.

导演仿佛是高预算版肯爵爷，成片质量和《绿衣骑士》差了一百个《天国王朝》，又一个形式大于内容的换皮莎剧片。
莎剧拌迷幻蘑菇，头颅和肢体纷纷折断，多的是长镜头里嘶啸着的兽性，比那柄死者之剑切开的动脉更加澎湃汹涌。和《绿衣骑士》类似，并不需要也没法讨论太多，走过异教异色下的人间地狱就已足够。
老掉牙的俗套故事墨迹了俩小时，但是视觉效果值得加分。空中抓长矛扔回去让我想起育碧游戏引发生理不适。
用电影方式来呈现的一篇北欧萨迦。原来莎剧《哈姆雷特》对原著中的维京民族风做了巨大的删减。
3.5制作精良，就是剧情以现在眼光看来像非常冗长的游戏，到了等级才能解锁的武器，强行的剧情杀和末日火山般史诗单挑boss战。可能是服务仪式感的一种妥协吧。哈姆雷特的改造倒是非常不错。
选莎翁巨著算个败着，但拍的真的足够好看，比《灯塔》是不足的，至于非要和《沙丘》比的，咱也懒得说啥。
7分的水平，相比于故事人物逻辑啥的，质感这一点还算不错。演员喊叫越是声嘶力竭，越能代表这导演技法多笨拙，到最后甚至妮可基德曼都开始疯狗叫喊搭配王八剑法了…
我一般不给美国人拍的亚洲片高分，但这部真的太好看了…
则差了不少
并非一味追究仇恨，更多在于雪恨中，在血腥里表达出理性。循序渐进，步步为营，重情节。虽没直接的拔剑相向，但却更耐看。
血腥王子复仇记，几段巫师游戏的音乐听得我真想来说：刀先放下，来盘昆特牌吧
妮可基德曼的表演很惊艳 许多处特效化妆是不错的参考 很想知道怎么做的 应该是道具结合CG
我的建议是steam战神史低的时候买一买试一试都比这有深度~
虽然王子复仇的故事比较老套，好在艾格斯的风格和气势都还在，但是好莱坞工业化的大制作耗尽了他本来的灵气，还是老老实实走你的小成本艺术恐怖片这条路吧。E大的演技有点不太够用啊，连小演员都比不过，如果是在大荧幕观看视觉冲击应该会更强.喜欢女武神一段，演员是个不知名模特，IMDb上连照片都没有，她的脸部表现力挺到位，本人长相应该是精灵挂的75/100
这可能是另一个体系的「三个自信」吧，因为道路自信所以制度自信，所以文化自信，自信到以为亚洲符号大乱炖就能代表中国文化了……（制作上也很糊弄不敢相信是一亿美元级别制作）
这不就是性转版本的“地狱之刃：塞娜的复仇”…这种北欧神话风格还真是挺怀念 众神低语…果然北欧人均精神病
熊与狼的力量在体内翻涌，总有神明指引着复仇之路。国王想要死在战场却躲不过弟弟的冷箭，神剑想要嗜血吞心在火山口斩草除根夺回属于自己的一切。从迷到信，哪有什么神明，不过是你在乎的东西支配着灵魂，让信念支撑着维京血脉。
老故事披上新外衣，没有突破反而显得更拖沓。不过，女主角还是很漂亮的。
比预期好看很多。没有看到任何种族歧视，反而完全是从中华文化出发讲一个超级英雄故事，感觉美籍亚裔应该很感动吧。山海经里的小动物太萌啦～伟仔真的是太帅了！每一个眼神都秒杀对手，很能带人入戏。好的演员可以让我这种非超英粉也爱上这种俗气故事
