Movie Reviews of Caligula (Unrated Twentieth Anniversary Edition)
Movie Review: Unforgettable...
Summary: 5 Stars
This incredible movie reminded me of a bad car accident I saw as a child, -horrific, shocking, fascinating. It is perverse, erotic and so incredibly haunting, that the images will stay with you long after the credits have rolled. I have a feeling that it was probably a hell of a lot worse in real life than was actually dipicted by this movie and in my opinion, it is a brilliant historical piece.
The performances of Helen Mirren, Malcom McDowell, Peter O'Toole and John Gielgud were marvellous and inspired, -they all deserved Oscar nominations in my opinion!
Unforgettable.
Movie Review: Ignore the close minded...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing movie. There is nothing like it and I doubt there ever will be. It is pure entertainment from start to finish and yes, it has pornographic scenes. Guess what. So does life. Especially if that life is taking place in ancient Rome, a time and place known for excess and indulgence. The cast is spectacular, the sets monumental (be sure to watch the special features) and the script chock full of quotable lines.
This movie has been bashed since day one, but if you watch this with an open mind and a yearning for big screen style entertainment, you won't be disappointed.
Movie Review: What you don't know about the Romans.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie tells it like it was in the Roman era when madmen ruled the countries. The movie is very graphic but portrays the way life was back then. There are horrific scenes when Caligula takes enjoyment of taking lives of his enemies as well as 'friends'. There are scenes that portray his undying love/lust for his sister Drusilla and scenes where you can understand the romans' appetite for sex. Very graphic but after reading a lot on Caligula and the world he lived in, this movie is quite realistic and is HIGHLY recommeded for those who don't mind graphic scenes of all kinds.Movie Review: Great Acting by Malcom McDowell
Summary: 5 Stars
The acting from McDoewl was great! He is a very good actor. The movie, even though gross, it is historically acurate. If you want to critize something, critize the Romans. Penthouse only portrayed the Roamns as they were, and may I ad they did an excellent job at it. The death of Caligula could have been better. The scenography is good, I could not find a single mistake. they even got the small details down pretty well. Excellent Job. without a doubt, the best thing the movie has to offer is the acting by McDowel. He should have received the oscar for that yearMovie Review: Realism At Its Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I must give props to the makers of this film. It took guts to make a movie so realistic of the represented time. After watching the unrated version, for me to see the rated version would be a waste. After all it would probably only be about 45 min. long. This movie is not for kids, or people with weak stomachs. It is not a porno, it is art. Pornos are made so people can pleasure themselves. Caligula was made to show us a time in world history. A time before christianity, before modern day morals. This is a great buy for the simple realistic art.
