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'.

偌大的孤儿院不是家，胸前的那枚项链即是流浪的归宿。满钵的金银铜不是梦，儿时的那些冒险才是个人的传奇。走遍世界唯有对纸片写信倾诉，能力拔萃却始终学不会真诚。有人终其一生也无法获得一个肯定眼神，有人咫尺天涯却早已拥有托付信任。也许重要的也并非是目的地与同路人，但愿为何出发初心不改。
影片最后14分钟才开始空中飞船战，之前还在巴塞罗那浪费一大半时间。
寻宝类电影实在是难以拍出什么新花样了，各种机关各种反转都平平无奇。
故事很简单，是非常标准的好莱坞式寻宝类型片，从中能看到很多《国家宝藏》和《印第安纳琼斯》的影子。虽然很难在剧情上做什么创新，但影片轻松搞笑，在视觉上做到了极致。

比想象的好一些～劇情沒啥，就是讓我想起疫情前夏天在東南亞度假了
虽然3月14日才大规模上映，但周末已经开始了大规模首映，如果对于纯爆米花感兴趣，《神秘海域》是个不错的选择。
一起看过的。导演对动作片的理解还停留在八十年代，游戏粉加一星，看完下单了次世代版。
剧情节奏有点快 其他的都很好 值得大家去看
其实挺喜欢这种冒险题材的，类似的有《夺宝奇兵》系列。因南海九段线问题在越、菲两国禁播，这可以说是美国利用有些电影向境外输出世界观和改造意识形态的典型案例了，正是禁播后产生的舆论，会产生影响、会传播，传着传着就变味儿了。这是软实力，说白了，文化历史、影视娱乐、文艺书籍算个JB，照样给你玩成政治

到最后角色崩了。整体就是一个还算合格的爆米花
特别好看！白月初和苏苏，两人的感情越来越好了，越看越好玩
窃宝，解谜，机关，计斗，怎么说，感觉都差了一口气，导致整体平庸，场景和动作设计，也就开头惊艳了一下，演员之间也没有火花。
最近看太多伤脑子的电影，再看这个竟然感到refreshing😅。Tom 已经成了大成本制作的无新意IP动作片青年代言人。
因为歉疚而给予的关注不是爱，爱不是捆绑和克制，所以，我不会放弃，我想和她在一起待我替她还上这份亏欠之情，至少那时候她心的去向就取决于她自己了
游戏改编，两个小时的电影节奏太慢了让人看不下去，动作场面也是没什么新意

好烂哦…… 破坏文物原来可以这么不爽的吗哈哈哈哈！制片的感觉就是：“看看我好爱这系列”然后每部东拼西凑了出了个“前传”。讲真，holland演12岁nate可以，25岁nate就不对了。以及明明是关于找哥哥的故事，为什么孤儿院爬楼顶只拍了一点点？那才是精髓好吗！
现在的动作片为什么都是一直靠文戏水过去。成龙的片子都比这好看多了。
