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'.

我好喜欢这个系列感觉我可以看一辈子
ps秀俊叔和这种丧丧的气质浑然天成
又是一部可可爱爱没有脑袋，吸血鬼是都自带时停嘛哈哈，不过为什么不在约翰尼恐龙跑的时候用啊，那不直接结束了吗哈哈。
本作对于德古拉和乔纳森的和谐使出了互换身体这种老套路的方法，相对也是比较“无语”，幸亏，其它角色的插科打诨，折腾搞笑挽救了这最后一次德古拉一家的有趣生活。
意外刷视频刷到的✘……就感觉……是把那种合家欢的缺点放大到了极致，人物间各种傻傻的矛盾激化简直蠢到极点……从第一部开始，这么棒的女主……这么绰的男的…
但是只有78分钟的正片，也太简短了吧。
精灵旅社系列最大的问题就是没有成长，本来这也没啥毕竟它只是工业流水合家欢，但是第四部了还在讲早在第一部就解决了的翁婿矛盾就确实太没创意了，就此完结吧，怕了好莱坞的各种续集了
听说是本系列最后一部？不舍得 每部都是追着看完 很喜欢奇奇怪怪可可爱爱的怪物家族 多一颗星给系列这么多年的回忆吧
非常非常非常标准的剧本，非常非常非常无聊的剧情。
怎么说呢，有点太伤感了，虽然觉得作为电影来说故事有点单薄。。我想了想，虽然有点恶俗，但是如果把这个设定作为守和绘里相爱的前调，或许我会喜欢的。PS，你们搞笑艺人果然还是出场太多了wwww
有点sterotype 但还是挺欢乐 不过调换身份并不常有这样的机会 不同人之间加强理解很难 但真的重要
和之前的比差好多。。。虽然没猜出来结局啊但是太水了。。。冷笑话越来越多。。。破案过程越来越少。。。。
还本来对本片也没什么期待，但过程还是比较逗的。让人很放松的一部动画片。
主要是为了怀念青春罢了
鸡汤味儿也太浓了
普普通通
说是这个系列电影的最后一部，希望就真的是最后一部吧，因为真的没什么内容了。影片从人物上看，似乎有回到了第一部的路数上，德古拉依然是无法相信人类男主，从而惹了不少的事情出来，最后双方达成和解，而人类男主再次带来时代变迁下的新酒店，和第一部真的是太像了，但剧情本身的效果不佳。男主变成怪物，德古拉变成人类，影片似乎想通过这种互换方式，让两个人去了解彼此，从而和解，但问题是整部电影并没有围绕这个内核展开，且不说人类男主并不嫌弃怪物，最后德古拉的转变也不是发现人类本身的不容易，而是男主那段非常鸡汤的要乐观看待一切的话语打动了他，完全没有利用好这么有意思的设定。另外就是人类男主的人设在这一部真心格外让人讨厌，乐观没有问题，但是傻和蠢就是问题。整体的剧情和节奏显得有些混乱，娱乐看看就好了吧。
我震惊了我今天为什么会连看两部剧情内核差不多的剧影啊
依然是岳父和女婿占主角的故事，几乎从头闹腾到结束的各种桥段，一个系列拍到第四集，多少就有些疲态了，基本上也该到此为止了吧……
很平庸，显得十分的墨迹，非常的低领向，力求夸张的人物塑造和简单的剧情冲突，偶尔有几个笑点（或者说我笑点高）。
