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'.

文戏又臭又长、打戏支离破碎，看得我目瞪口呆。（去影院又看了一遍，其实剧本还行，但文戏和打戏的观点没改变，看得我如坐针毡）
曾在科幻概念、美术、动作上全面引领潮流的神作，竟然沦为全面的陈旧。它甚至连稍微拓展一下世界观都不愿意，真就用最过时的“失忆”套路把第一部重讲了一遍，还伤害了前作留下的多义性。
看在老粉的面上勉强三星吧，定位就很奇怪，靠几个闪回和原班人马回归拉拢老粉，但剧情基本零进展，华纳忘了当年这个系列风靡全球靠的是最新潮的概念和叙事啊，如果是要发展新观众，那倒是学学星战新三部曲搞个新英雄出来啊，看着两个中年人在天台亲亲你跳我也跳，这续集真的能拍的下去？
官方吐槽最为欢乐哈哈！所有的感触都借电影里角色的台词说完了，欢乐的吐槽部分，比如说看部电影还要补哲学课；和那些唏嘘的感慨，比如之前三部几他们拼尽一切做的那些事到如今仿佛并没有什么用, 一切都没变。看到多年后的尼奥沧桑的样子多少是有些心痛的。崔妮蒂还是那个在房顶上说Dodge this的酷姐姐。可是又有那么多人的生活因为他们曾经做的那些改变了！一些人追求自由，一些人追求安稳，一些人并不想思考只希望被告知该做什么。But, 所有的这些都是一个选择。总之看的挺欢乐的。再加上那些情怀，just love it. 希望再出出续集吧，崔妮蒂才觉醒了飞行的能力。另外，世人的确知道how to prison a woman.. Mr Anderson在这片第一个镜头的样子不就是这几天在认真等放假的我的样子么
导演表达得挺明白了：不是我想拍，有人要我拍……笑归笑，合成人的概念感觉没准会在某种程度上实现永生。如果真的实现，家祭无忘告乃翁啊。
机器与人的颠倒，科技与人的颠倒，人工智能与人的颠倒，生活与自由意志的颠倒，指向人的彻底解放，还指出了阶段化成果：竟然有认同人类价值的人工智能，不错的成绩，还搞出来了和平、人道路线，怎么看都是隐喻。
看你能认出多少个Sense8演员系列。比《原力觉醒》好看，可以去影院看一个。
比《星战7》更蹩脚的重启，充其量也就是个网大的体量，浮夸的自我吐槽把系列的史诗感透支掉，所要探讨的哲学内核充其量也只能算是势力内卷。当年John wick会致敬matrix台词，如今matrix需要致敬john wick，我真的不想看到基努里维斯继续消耗这点个人IP了，不要拍三部曲了，球球了。
当我看到它开始频繁引用前作镜头我就知道这片完蛋了。仿佛看了两个半小时snl，就是我知道你的在讽刺什么，你知道我知道你在讽刺什么，我也知道你知道我知道你在讽刺什么，但除了短暂地逗乐儿，这样做的必要性和有效性在哪里？还是那句话，主人的武器不能用来捣毁主人的房子。又及，向沃卓斯基倾情推荐 Asian Future Without Asians 系列讲座——2021年了，就算主角之一有亚裔血统也不能消解掉日本丧尸新干线和水上亭台练功房的 cringiness。
就像是官方制作的同人山寨恶搞网大。故作深沉的愚蠢，一脸严肃的可笑。动作戏可谓近十年来难得一见的……烂。
中年到底多可怜，就像Neo，胡子拉碴，披肩长发，生活大半都沉浸在阴暗之中。对手长得比你还年轻，而你已经不会飞了。
不对，没有老三部曲的逼格了，打架不戴墨镜还能叫黑客帝国？没有惊艳的动作设计，影像风格更接近于疾速追杀，救世主除了气功啥也不会，很失望，尤其是结局，又是小情侣穿上滑板鞋上天？多打一星纯粹是因为情怀，以及希望还能看到续集
neo是被复刻循环后的neo，矩阵也迭代升级了，锡安变成了艾欧，凭什么黑客帝国还是那个黑客帝国呢。少了袁和平的武打没看头，一群人矩阵里的装扮看起来更像不入流的黑帮，差点儿以为墨菲斯出柜了，图一乐瞎看吧，先知不在，哲学也没人探讨了。
炒冷饭不是个好习惯。偶尔将就一下可以，当正餐就算了。开头那些枪法是什么意思？这么近都打不着，故意的吗？
给个三星的情怀分数吧，其实更想看蜘蛛侠，剧本实在是不太行，打斗戏也很一般，不得不感叹岁月不饶人

时隔那么久出来的续集，看得出来沃卓斯基对片方和创作还是有很多戏谑的不满情绪在（尤其是最后的片尾彩蛋），剧情本身可能唯一的不足就是缺少升级吧
happy ending，给粉丝的礼物，毁经典续作
整体感觉对话太多，打斗场面太少，缺乏前几部的紧凑感，勉强可以看看，更多的是怀旧加抒情居多，总体评分 2.95
如果确实如传闻所说，导演不想拍被逼着拍，干脆直接摆烂，那我觉得本片摆烂得挺好的，干脆就告诉你前三部就是基努里维斯的一个电脑游戏而已。矩阵是存在的，矩阵里面的人物也是存在的，但是和真实的人类是不一样的，不相关的。你会飞，我会飞，爱谁谁谁。
