Summary: An erotic masterpiece
Review: Caligula is the best erotic movie of all times. Brass makes his only masterpiece with the colaboration of the best art director Danilo Donaty (colaborator of Fellini) the great story of Gore Vidal and the best of the best;Malcolm MC.Dowell and Peter O'toole. The photography is excellent, the ambientation can't be better and the scenography spectacular. Just to say that I have seen Caligula mora than 10 times.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very Interesting
Review: This film is very graphic, but very interesting. Don't turn it off because you see some nudity or something else that is vile...get through the whole story and then judge it. Not a great movie, but is was lavishly done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Caligula (Unrated)
Review: One of a kind, there will never be another movie made like this one. Malcolm McDowell is a magnifacent Caligula that is going insane. Yes the movie has graphic sex, but this enhances the realization of the period and the power of one person during the early years of the roman empire. I have seen the NC-17 version, and it does not do it justice. The only way to obtain the true realization of the period is through the unrated version. It is XXX. If it can be done, it is in this movie

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Its not THAT bad
Review: 'Caligula' is not THAT bad. Yes, there are some [questionable] scenes and the editors don't know how to make a coherent sequence. But, the soundtrack was fantastic. One thing didn't make sense to me. In the end it seems like 'Caligula' gets decapitated, but in the final scene he is shown dead with his head still on. What is going on here? Clumsy filmmaking I guess. Don't take it too seriously. If you like soft-core porn and plenty of pretty women, this is for you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "Caligula" is full of shame.No stars.
Review: "Caligula" is the kind of film that reminded me of everything that was the opposite of good.The opposite of light.It also reminded me what the feeling of shame is all about.This is a terrible movie.I would put it right up there with "Salo,or the 120 days of Sodom" which I hail as the worst film ever made."Caligula" only serves its purpose of satisfying those with sick minds and it takes away the art of cinema.I have nothing more to say.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Great actors, but a bad movie
Review: Never before have I seen such bad acting by such great actors in what could have been a great epic. Malcolm McDowell and Peter O'Toole completely disappointed me in this poorly written and poorly directed screenplay. In an attempt to portray, in explicit scenes, the decadence of Rome during the rule of Caligula, the producers and directors turned this film into nothing less than a big-budget, ... fiasco. If you enjoy stupidity at its best in a movie, this is the one for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shocking but quite good...
Review: I recently viewed the unrated version of "Caligula." I wasn't expecting much since it was a film sponsored by Penthouse magazine. What I got was a real film treat. The acting is wonderful (Oscar callibar). The visuals are intense and often disturbing. The word graphic definitely comes to mind here.

For those of you who are interested, this movie DOES, however, contain some hardcore sexual acts. There is gratutitous nudity (both male and female). Sexual acts are portrayed in ways that are as candid and honest as those in adult films. Do not watch the unrated version of this film with small children or if you are easily offended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best erotic movie of all times
Review: I'm a Cinema student, and after to have a deep analysis of Caligula; I think that The Stanley Kubrick's star Malcolm Mc. Dowell, the great Peter O'Toole, the various Oscar winner Danilo Donati and the King of sexploitation Tinto Brass, all they joints can't make a bad movie. I saw a lot of erotic films but I never saw the intensity of Caligula with this convination of tragedy, anthology abouth the power, extreme violence, orgyes ...and satirical comedy. Every image is a controversial mix of beautifull art and genitals. The rated version could be bether for the director Tinto Brass who don't like the porno scenes included by the producer Bob Giucione. I would like to see all the original film that Brass made without Giucione. Apart of this, Caligula is a spectacular movie like a Fellini or Pasolini's masterpiece with a incredible human atrezzo details, extremely decadent atmospheres and the best art design and art direction ... that I saw and by this reason: The best ... movie of all times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful, beautiful DECADENCE!
Review: This film approaches Ancient Rome in a way that not even Frederico Fellini's "Satyricon" was able: With an X-Rating. A star-studded cast is displayed surrounded by sumptuously filmed soft and hard core .... A gorgeous film, steeped with decadence, sadism, incest, and ART. A work of beauty, but not for your Grandmother's viewing tastes, very probably. ;-)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My rating & review of Caligula (Unrated Version)
Review: I have to say that Caligula may somewhat be shocking for it's explicit and sexual content and details of torture of people and animals, however I found the movie to be an outstanding film. It's integrity takes you to another level where the past of the Roman days comes alive. Sex was truly exploited then and almost everything and anything was quite normal. Malcolm McDowell did a brilliant work as Caligula. It's the best adult film of all time. It's the most memorable late 70's film and it's sad how Hollywood doesn't make great movies like the ol' classics. A must see!!
