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'.

很好看啊，从头紧张刺激到尾，结局反转还好不是俗气的人格分裂，不过也差不多了，人格分裂实体化。。。最后那样也太恶心了
恐怖惊悚悬疑动作血腥都占了反正。最后女主都红果果的直接用台词说出了本片的主旨：我的身体我做主，我也是到最后才知道那个畸形胞胎是男的，那这不就是明晃晃的以摆脱男性精神肉体双重控制的，以女性意识身体双重觉醒的，被好莱坞都快拍烂了的，女（拳）性（击）主义题材吗？不过我还是要说，温子仁拍这种还是比其他人更有创意和看头，基本算是没有jumpscare，血腥也基本保留在最后警局里的大杀特杀，就是控制电流这个有点扯，毕竟是改变现实物理现象，到最后不像恐怖片反而像克苏鲁怪奇物语甚至有点像反英雄反派为王的虐杀邪典。

一向拍攝爆米花大片的溫子仁又回到自己的最輕車熟路的驚悚片老本行，難得的是，他在“招魂”系列的鬼屋夢魘外，又找到新的創意。不過，本片缺乏原創性，有不少向大衛柯南伯格的借鑑的想法，前半段在侷限空間內和怪物的搏鬥，依舊是溫子仁在“招魂”系列的拿手好戲，不少鉛黃元素，復古配樂以及濃重色彩都有一股七八十年代驚悚片的味道，可惜後半段過於注重動作場面和血腥暴力，反而走向了愚蠢的殺人狂虐殺類型，恐怖程度大幅度下降，可見溫子仁的跨類型嘗試尚未成功。
创意、惊悚氛围、音效都非常棒！逻辑不行？看个恐怖片要啥逻辑！
仿佛看了部超英片，全程杀的很嗨，几乎无尿点，后脑上这个小东西实在太有喜感了，后半段它一出来我就想笑……
问题不少，但功大于过。别他妈拿道德大旗绑架什么支持正版。删减版就他妈不是正版。把根源问题转移到普通用户对撕，这个招数太熟悉了有没有。
最后高潮部分杀的是真爽，你tm杀人就说杀人了，还整个连体婴糊弄nm谁呢，装tm的无辜，把精神分裂说的那么邪乎
3.5吧，全程看得人还是很有紧张感的，高能的地方还是很高能的，就是结局有点减分。比起这种血腥的类型，还是更喜欢温导灵异类型的片子。不知道今晚会不会梦见那张脸，真的是太丑了。
看的未删减，缺点是剧情太老套，而且最后还煽了个情，优点是这么老套的剧情拍的还挺新鲜的
脑电波控制视网膜的设定很妙，只是在脑电波控制电话信号上有些牵强。
温子仁这次玩好大，一定是拍海王憋坏了，另外女主角演的不错。
前面都是德帕尔玛玩剩下的，从扒脑壳虐杀开始，快睡着的我总算打起精神来了——动作戏笑死。信条这么拍多好看！
恐怖怪才变行活大师。这身手估摸得让隔壁厅尚气来治。
暴力，血腥，惊悚和悬疑度一个不落，个人认为算得上近几年值得推荐的恐怖片之一了。这部片完全可以再次说明温子仁的能力所在，尤其在类型片领域内，他的风格和镜头只属于他自己，尤其是那几场残杀的片段，丝毫不遮掩，那些特定的场景还有杀人手法，带有一种仿佛梦回《电锯惊魂》的凋零破败。一想到温导监制的那几部片子，真想指着那些导演，让他们学学温导是怎么拍的，就算剧情烂一些，说不定还能靠镜头博取些观众的好感。
能上爱奇艺早该想到不是鬼片，更像是怪物片，美国版的《连体阴》。最后还有一点“亲情在血缘之外”的味道。
《刺客信条之双生杀手》
太可惜了。
温子仁版《姐妹情仇》，硬伤不少，制作也有些敷衍，不过把它当成B级片来看倒是还能接受就是了
温子仁终究还是个钟爱B级片的导演，他对商业模式的驾驭能力挺强，但个人风格的把握上反而有待打磨，这种反差倒是很罕见。
