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'.

底下吃瓜群众一开始喊格林德沃喊得震天响，怎么麒麟一跪就全部转头支持另一个了，你们不是真正的追随者；
挺好看的啊，比上一部好多了，至少我没睡着，还觉得挺想看下去的。很多类似的电影连让人看下去的耐心都没有。
我就是来看GGAD的，无脑四星吧！所以最后邓布利多的秘密到底是什么呀？？他家的那点事以及他和老相好的那点事，大家不是早就都知道了吗？？
邓布利多，还有谁会爱你 所以邓布利多的秘密是他和GG的love么 这早不是秘密了啊 可惜血盟break了 老邓看着别人结婚孤身一人好凄凉…… 但我不在乎，因为GG不是我普我不在乎 为什么不能让我普和裘德洛相爱相杀 我不甘心 然而 怎么说呢 只要神奇动物还在一天 魔法世界就会定期重新开启 我们就会听见熟悉的音乐 回到熟悉的学校 而这里面 多的是 你们麻瓜不知道的事
第二部废话两个多小时的缺点几乎全部照搬，虽然事件缩短后看起来不像第二部那么稀碎难懂，但整体还是平庸，说来说去还是在酝酿格林德沃与邓布利多的对决前戏，之前积累两部的情绪再次挑逗一下就是不给高潮，何况还换了反派主演、砍掉女主戏份，就连小雀斑都成为两人相爱相杀的工具人，格林德沃处心积虑招募的克雷登斯也已被边缘化到只剩下有点印象的斯内普造型，戏份平摊到没有一个真正主角，而用麒麟作为影片麦高芬来点题神奇动物，但轻易就能决定故事走向让魔法会长选举看起来和选课代表没啥两样，分派箱子任务更是混乱到像在过家家，整部下来完全就是一次魔法世界的敷衍摆烂。片名里邓布利多之谜应该是邓布利多家族大哥有个前男友，弟弟有个私生娃……
看之前就知道不会好看，但毕竟都看了前两部，但愿别再继续拍了。最近这么多年续作电影就没有几个能及格的，是都不会拍了吗
抱歉我真的打不了四星了。作为哈迷依然有点失望。与死圣描述即使不说背道而驰也让我觉得别扭的格邓关系，略为ooc的邓布利多，彻底沦为酱油的克雷登斯，杂乱的多线叙事，tina的无故缺席没有完美解释，以及其他种种瑕疵，实在是觉得遗憾又遗憾。冷静一点再来写影评吧，毕竟之后还有早已跟人约好的二刷（也可能是三刷，取决于周五晚已经买好不能退的票还要不要去看）。
For the greater good.
魔法界口口声声的选票，就是一只麒麟的认可，决定魔法世界最高权力的麒麟居然就野生在雪山里，还被莫名其妙的人杀了，突然理解魔法界为什么被麻瓜世界压一头了。两个世界不一定要非此即彼对抗，一场婚礼结尾代表了两个世界的结合与包容。
那肯定是不及格的；罗琳的剧本写的啥真有问题，还在这里写书呢，成片效果也就是同人文；喜剧段子就不能砍砍吗，主线剧情也太慢了
虽然几乎感受不到人物之间的联结，还是很喜欢，如见老友。
其实可以看，虽然就真的不确定他们到底是在干啥，最后的“高潮戏”真的看得有点尴尬。
底下吃瓜群众一开始喊格林德沃喊得震天响，怎么麒麟一跪就全部转头支持另一个了，你们不是真正的追随者；
烂到不想看结果，一些电影烂，但还有可能好奇结局有多烂，而这个，无聊到不想知道到底有多烂。
我对作品算比较宽容了，都觉得第三部拍成这样，未来很危险。如邓布利多最后所说，平淡，太平淡了。回想不出有什么精彩的点或者兴奋的镜头，回到霍格沃兹都拍得平淡如水纯走过场，也就看到年轻的麦格教授比较欣慰，再加小巷打斗时的咬人书和游走球。就围绕地球巫师联邦选举领袖这一件事，硬生生把麒麟扯进来点神奇动物的题，浪费了很好的时代背景。角色弧光在哪里？只能说唯一勉强看得进去的就是麻瓜雅各布了。对照一下哈利波特第三部阿兹卡班的囚徒电影多么出色，神奇动物的第三部不应该这样。
二刷，老邓如此细腻而孤独，哥哥突然帅到国家宝藏高度，我珍贵的电影IMAX自由，如此珍贵。
无非就是最后邓布利多的“风雪夜归人”落下几滴泪。
你触碰过我的心脏吗？那是曾为你跳动的地方

中国式尊重同性恋的“不支持不反对”，就是容不下同性情感，必须阉割掉一句爱的台词，这片土地上的同性恋通通赛博死亡。 PS：德普中国粉丝觉得全世界都欠德普，这是疾病
