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'.

感觉韩寒一直绕在自己少年的圈子里面没有出来，拍了几部电影，都是类似的套路。抓紧出来吧，资本的耐性是有限的。
年轻的时候我也以为自己是风，到后来才知道其实我们都是草。相比飞驰人生，我更喜欢这一部。四海为家并不见得好 only fools rush in 心中的孤岛才是永远的家。
如果故事能够不紧不慢娓娓道来就更棒了
这片儿的看点都在沈腾身上了，沈腾尹正下线，全剧终。
韩寒的电影 一如既往的飙车...从汽车到摩托车 下次是不是可以飞艇了？结局真的让人不美好...也许这是现实 但是前面又给了那么多 不现实
哎！真有点儿看不下去啊！万子哥竟然配音，有没有搞错啊！ 分两次还没看完，看完再说吧！ 看完了，真的是一言难尽啊！
可以说是韩少所有电影中最差的一部了，希望不要步郭敬明后尘，毕竟我曾对前者有过很大的期待
痴迷于小镇叙事的韩寒对于边缘地带“质朴”民风的构造已经信手拈来，然而视角一旦回归到城市却呈现了失真浮夸的虚假。鬼火少年成舔狗，梦中情人变傻姑，点个鞭炮就把摩托烧了，喝个酒就排队跳海，不懂如何开房门也不懂上网搜，禁摩的广州居然还能开到广州塔～拍了和没拍一样，从尹正溺亡沈腾下线后就开始全面崩坏，怕火的少年扎进火坑里，怕水的少女被撞进海里，想用喜剧来包裹悲剧，却疏于视觉传达只能依靠更多独白显得十分矫情，旺盛的表达欲终究让四海变成了四不像。更可怕的是全部角色要么飙车违章，要么抛妻弃子，要么冒用身份借贷，要么肇事逃逸，已经不是没有方向的想到哪拍哪，完全成了毫无意义的价值输出。结局还要用郭敬明式的伤痛念白来落下帷幕，第四部作品的四海满满都是四的意志，他的文字还爱他，所以片名也可以叫《悲伤逆行摩托车》。
周欢歌死之后，整个剧情就崩坏了。
春节档里最差的一部，也是韩寒电影中最差的一部。多希望我能走进那道211的房门。
Only Fools Rush in，这英文名起得太艺术了。
剪辑真是稀碎，故事真是平庸，太多巧合了，白瞎这些明星了
其实尚可，依然很韩寒。只是上映时间没挑对罢了
故事本身有着很好的底子，因为韩寒终于在自己的第四部电影中成功塑造了人物，但可惜他还是放不下自己在小说中培养的“小聪明”，导致电影前半部分不伦不类，是前三部电影缺点的集合体。在后半部分主角塑造完成开始成为故事主导后，韩寒又画蛇添足成为了操纵木偶的上帝，导致一头一尾都是一片稀烂，唯一有价值的片段只在两位主角短暂的公路骑行与进入大城市的初期。韩寒本可以创造出一对华语届许多年都未曾有过的有灵气的主角和一个动人的故事，可惜一切都败给这个强行收尾的悲剧结局。
烂片不可怕，包装精美的烂片最可怕。没逻辑没主题没结构，全片充斥着韩寒式冷段子和伪文青浪漫，不至于真不至于。
我看了，好像又没看。我脑子里只有那辆摩托车。
带有英雄主义的青春片儿吧
勉为其难打个及格吧，看得出来导演想表达，可惜不得法，明明是出现实的悲剧，可用了沈腾以及其他插科打诨的段子，反而不伦不类，不知道是不是因为票房的缘故。
涣散的故事线，糟糕的节奏，不接地气的台词。从头到尾就一个词可以概括，拧巴。拧巴的人设，拧巴的故事，拧巴的表达，拧巴的一切，看完我整个人都尴尬的拧成一团麻花了。
讲小地方小人物的故事，取景不错，情节有点差，活生生的硬编。
