Very good

It has everything you could ask for and more. It even has lots of real sex, I highly recommend it.

Repellant Masterpiece

"Little Boots" Caligula, masterfully portrayed by Malcolm McDowell ("A Clockwork Orange"), easily the most degenerate, morally corrupt of all the Ceasars, including the infamous Nero, invites you into his sexually seething, opulently gore-filled palace to witness his uncontolled hubris as he ascends to the "throne" of what was once the Republic of Rome.

Vicious, paranoid, petulant, flippant, Caligula destroys all boundaries of morality in his unbridled lust to become a god. Peter O'Toole and Sir John Gielgud add dramatic gravity in short but well-crafted roles as roadblocks in the path of monomania.

This film is definitely not for younger viewers nor persons who object to pornography, demonstrating as it does the broadest range of sexual activity one is likely to see in a film intended for the general public.

For all of that, the lavish sexuality of the film is essential to the depiction of scene and theme, and though ever-present, it is only occasionally gratuitous. This film must rate as the finest film ever made to contain pornography, stylistically, contextually, and thematically.

Despite the visuals, or sometimes because of them, "Caligula" is indisputably a morality play for our time. It is repellant and reassuring, and, ultmately, a near-masterpiece of fine art.

Caligula

This is a major production with good cinematic values. Story drags a little, but overall is compelling.

History Mixed with Porn

Caligula is about the Roman Emperor Caligula Ceasar. Set around 40 A.D. the movie centers around his reign, his love life and the terrible things both the Ceasar and the Romans did to eachother.

This movie was graphic in every single way imaginable though it definitely captured the decadance of this era. Caligula just got more and more evil as the movie went on and the last scene death scene took the cake.

Theres tons of sex in this. It can go from one extreme to the next in seconds. The parts with the actors I thought were decently acted, then it turns into one big mess. This would have been a lot better if you cut out a lot of the sex, it really went overboard. It was porn and the more and longer they showed the more you get distracted from the storyline and seriousness of the movie. One on hand I liked it because it told a historical story of an evil power hungry leader, on the other hand I didn't because it looked like an excuse to make a porn and show as much of it as possible.

Overall, I thought it was pretty good. I do have to say that at the end you will be happy what happens to Ceasar. Once you see this movie youve seen it all. This goes all out.

More sex than needed

While I was prepared for some hard core porn, I felt it was way over the top as the story could easily have been told with less in your face sex. Actually it seemed to interfere with the story line at times.
I Claudius tells the tale just as well (or better) without a lot of disgusting sex. I am not the least bit a prude ... just too much of it.
