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'.

不是DC粉，把四个小时的片长拆开当作迷你剧看的，竟然感觉还不错
7.我爱这部电影，满分是五分，我愿意为了自己的私心再多给一分。
哦对了，这是炒冷饭，导演拍的内容怎么舍得删掉呢，那就全留下吧，搞成了名义上的电影实际上是剧欸！
超人和神奇女侠的脑残粉，哪怕上一个版本我都给的5星。哈哈哈哈
最后，华纳司马不送~
这个才叫正义联盟，之前那版只能算两小时的预告片，对比一下这版丝毫不输隔壁复联三四了，可惜了没上院线唉
虽然片子还有很多的遗憾和不完美 但还是真tm得帅啊！感谢扎导 感谢全球影迷的热情 让这部电影成真 ！片尾for autumn和hallelujah直接泪奔 扎导真的值得！
看超英大片都一个感觉，一到最后决战就泄气，前面关于英雄困境和抉择的铺垫，有时候是挺耐人寻味的，但进入到动作戏，所有铺垫感觉都儿戏化了。这也是这类大片儿的普遍问题，高潮戏必须依赖动作戏，但以动作戏来收尾又看起来有点幼稚。
没有吹得那么好，超人单方面虐菜。不如漫威的超级英雄来得真实。美剧侠。
片子本身4星，但是给满分是致敬片子命途多舛又传奇般的故事。整体在情节设置顺序上比院线版合理太多，因为时长原因在细节上处理都不错，色调风格也都是扎导原汁原味，打斗戏也比院线强太多。缺点有不少，慢动作镜头滥用，part3开始结构松散节奏打乱，扎导处理多线叙事平衡感还是不太行，闪电侠人设依旧没有立住。最后epilogue基本上都是扎导为自己和粉丝量身打造补拍的最后一部电影的放飞之旅。这部承载着太多的故事和回忆、悲伤与热爱的片子，for autumn缓缓淡去，在hallelujah的钢琴和歌声中，扎导不仅在告别自己挚爱的女儿，他同时给了自己和粉丝这样无比宝贵的机会，让我们对真正热爱的东西，对值得奉献的东西，体面地说声再见。英雄永存，信仰不灭。不管别人怎么说，在我心里扎克·施奈德是一位值得尊敬的艺术家
在复联4之后的真空期，在受疫情影响的剧荒期，DC很鸡贼地推出了这样一部“炒冷饭”之作，但意外的是，这是一碗香喷喷的蛋炒饭，极其落胃。4小时的时长，被塞得满满当当，看一部，感觉象是看了N部DC电影，个个人物都得到充分的发挥，打得是酣畅淋漓！所以说，DC不缺英雄，缺的是良好的规划和运作手段。期待DC继续和漫威硬杠，为影迷献上更多的佳作！
不是说这部电影没有瑕疵，但是它存在的意义深远
55555 激动人心。片尾曲，钢琴，女声，哈利路亚！哭了55555
堕落的哥谭，孤独的英雄，疯狂的反派。乱世里每个人的过往都是一首诗，这才是我心中dc该有的样子…亚马逊之战还有Barry踏破银河逆转时空那场戏多加一星吧。可得给闪电侠搞个运动鞋代言吧～
想到扎克施耐德会进步没想到进步那么大!尽管他一直以来的毛病没改，但也比尾灯版那部不知所云的烂片要强!
2021/3/19/千呼万唤始出来，这片注定影史留名，4：3的画幅+灰暗的色调。
4.5，荒原狼真是我看过目的性最强最明确的反派了，说抢母盒就真的只是抢母盒，对杀人毫无兴趣，哪怕路人甲都没舍得杀一下，荒原狼能有什么坏心思呢，他只不过是想回家罢了～
说导剪版又有如何高的里程碑造诣倒也是不必，无非也仅是1.33:1的讨喜画幅，与古铜质感下扎式美学搭配超英题材后的奇妙化学反应，再有比巴卜泡泡糖般恶心反胃的院线版在前垫底，扎导的审美情趣与叙事能力便更加突出又惹人喜爱，而这场大戏最精彩的部分，必然是戏剧以外导演的艺术执着以及粉丝与大厂巨贾间博弈的故事，这或许能给华纳更或许能给全球各国电影厂商高层们上上一课
要说跟17版对比，提升是一定有提升了，至少整个影片的风格比较统一，不会出现前面悲情后面逗比的情况，新角色的塑造也更加立体了，钢骨和闪电侠的角色形象对比17版有了一定的提升，剧情虽然大体走向是一样的，但某些剧情逻辑通顺了。但要说这版是不是真的很好这个只能见仁见智了，至少四个小时看下来，扎导的毛病还是很明显的：盲目仪式化，啰嗦，不懂留白，而且这次配乐的品味非常差。还是那句话，作为一个商业电影导演，如果经常靠导剪加长版才能表达清楚内容逆转口碑，还不如去拍电视剧算了。
这才是《正义联盟》这部电影应有的姿态，4小时慢慢的诚意，扎导辛苦了👍
