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'.

我们伟大的杰洛特大人小时候竟然是个光头...
带来惊喜的一个前传，能看成是杰洛特的师傅的外传，解释了人、术士、怪物、猎魔人之间的纠葛。好几个大型AOE魔法的效果可圈可点。
原来维瑟米尔老头儿年轻时这么帅的吗，他和伊利亚娜之间的感情真的很浪漫……说实话以为维瑟米尔和那个术士会看在塑料战友情上相互理解一下的，不过想想凯尔莫罕后来啥样好像也不太可能。
这剧本写的一点没原著味，完全是延续真人电视剧的扭曲改编
一般我不喜欢前传，因为回顾过去的事总会带着惆怅
真是一对亲夫妇，一个要将对方分尸沉湖，一个要意外终结他，到了危急的时候又愿意拿出所有私藏守卫他的贞操了，有趣，我笑了，但时间太长了，人均三条命。最后拍好莱坞电影还搞个黑人去，你们也晓得美国流行的政治正确啊

一个很哀伤的故事，看到一半还以为女巫跟男主会是一对呢，谁知道。。
你不知道什么你听到过的故事就会寻到你的面前
8/10 终于看到了维瑟米尔老爹的故事。重回充满魅力的天体交汇世界；直球剧情，简单粗暴、黑暗血腥；情感线非常动人；与游戏版很相像的音乐风格；借助动画的表现形式，战斗力被史诗级夸张化；依旧是悲剧、无奈、复杂的宿命感故事；总会出现新的怪物，杰洛特...
对于一个原著和游戏的粉丝来说，意外的好看和感动，结局很浪漫。打斗戏很有恶魔城的感觉，分镜很棒。剧情虽然简单，结合起维瑟米尔在游戏里的结局，这样的过去实在让人唏嘘不已。
尺度比剧和游戏都要大，更加地黑暗，也因此更加深入地抓住了原著的神髓，没有是非对错，在如此残酷的世界里，大家都只能尽力地surviving。
画面好美，维瑟米尔好帅（发型），最后的小杰洛特居然还只是个小光头（手动狗头）。动画版电影美看够希望Netflix可以出个保持这个制作水平的动画版剧集啊
能看到对各种经典片的“致敬”，出来的效果也非常一般，图个两小时的爽劲，留不下任何东西。

3A游戏大作既视感，没有读过原作小说，不了解它的宏大世界观，有机会得去阅读。
还是挺有趣的，北欧黑色幽默。后面血腥程度确实没想到，这种没想到造成的冲击更大。两口子本来恨不得杀了对方骗保险金，共同经历磨难之后居然也能夫妻同心其利断金。可见共患难的情谊真是很强大。
理论上是小说的前传，但有很多细节其实对不上，所以就当成一个同人外传看好了。话说这部剧用了很多《风暴季节》的梗，比如基因改造啊、狐魔的诞生之类，对比着看还挺带感的。
屋顶那泡屎也不知道是什么逻辑，感觉是导演的恶趣味，完全跟剧情没有一点关系。
3+。不知道狼之噩梦是什么意思。打斗戏份很激烈。画风一般。音乐一般般。看懂了。没有绝对的好人或坏人。精灵太惨了，没有自保能力，被人类唾弃，跟人类斗争。所有人都输了，只有人类赢了。
