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'.

还有一丝丝做作与刻意
逻辑漏洞太多 剧情幼稚 虽然是男神的片但确实不算好片
翻拍能力一般，韩国人已经完全不相信社会警察和体制了。
翻拍翻车现场惨不忍睹，除了黄政民的演技，其他一无是处，绑匪头子和王千源差得不是一星半点，剧情生搬硬套一眼假……
一部彻头彻尾失败的韩国本土化改编—— 将原版代入感极强的氛围营造、悍匪偶尔人性乍现的精彩瞬间以及人在面对极端危险时所做出的各种选择和心理弧线，统统简化成了韩国最常见的犯罪动作片套路。 结果便导致其失去了几乎所有原来的精髓与灵魂，最终沦为影视工业流水线上的一部平庸之作。
自己演自己依旧很能打，比原版好的一点是加入了好几个女性角色吧。
黄政民还在《从邪恶中拯救我》中没缓过来吗？
剧情改动较大，动作戏增加了很多，警察和绑匪智斗部分明显让位于黄政民大叔的自救，所以其实把原作的亮点平庸化了，个人觉得没那么有心意。绑匪一味凶残没了个性，警察鸡肋无褒无贬。黄政民大叔和刘德华的性格不一样，所以韩版的很‘黄政民’，主要选择动手。片尾字幕最后还是加了原作信息的，在最最后面😅
跟原版比，少了绑匪头目回到城里找爱人的情节，多了男主和被绑架的女子的互动…整体看来，跟韩国同类型的优秀影片比，不算出色。
翻拍得毫无亮点，又是靠民子一个人撑起的一部电影
但是我不喜欢他无脑啊！
翻拍了一个寂寞，这波我天朝完胜，吾先生的优点在王千源，人质的缺点在黄政民，不是他不好，而是他演了自己且没有跟他匹配的对手戏演员，韩国版把重点放在众匪，祸起萧墙的阶级感深入骨髓。
翻拍不如原版系列，而且差的太远了。其实出彩的不是人质，而是反派这个角色。原版王千源的表演状态和吃饺子时表演技巧很难复制，黄政民不应该演黄政民，应该去演劫匪会更好。
就算有黄政民滤镜也真的不行，太韩国动作警匪片套路了。
挺一般的…
翻拍版是典型的韩式惊悚片模式，有点太套路了，不像原版那样更有后味。
还行吧 反派战斗力明显是比吾先生强不少 这警察同志们好惨
不能把戏里的黄政民当黄政民看，那是动作片男主，超出普通人的神勇了。
虽然刘德华王千源那部原版其实也很一般，但还是比这部翻拍版要好，好不少。即使不和原版比较，单纯作为一部全新的犯罪片看，这电影也很难及格，节奏拉垮、不够跌宕、反派的行为很迷。总体也就是看看黄政民而已。
改编的太“韩国电影”了，不如吾先生细腻，又变成了韩式的暴力撕扯。黄政民一个惨字，正常发挥，其他没什么意思
