This is one of those notorious films that I grew up hearing about but never seeing fully. I've caught parts from time to time, but I've always been excited to see. Streaming is non-existent, so I bought the DVD.

The reviews are spot on, this movie is awful. There is a film here, the story of Caligula is ripe for dramatization. Unfortunately what happened here was the interference of Bob Guccione making the final product a glorified pornographic film.

What could have been a historical epic turns out to have a very loose in not completely lost narrative structure that makes the film hard to follow.

Is there artistic merit? I think there is. The production design team tries their best, but many of the sets are so obvious that you're taken out of the film. The cinematography is atrocious at times, I understand that is is the by-product of a bad edit job by Guccione himself.

Let's not forget that there are some exceptionally talented actors here: John Gielgud, Helen Mirren, Peter O'Toole and of course, Malcolm McDowell. It's really incredible to imagine a film like this exists, and that's what is so exciting, at least for me.

If you bought this for erotic purposes, I'll say that you're already on the internet and can find much better and more effective products elsewhere.

For someone who's interested in experiencing the film and believe me, it is an experience, then you can probably do worse. By the end of the film I was bored and just waiting for Caligula's brutal end.

Simply awful characters that have no redeeming qualities. The show isn't funny, it's actually really cruel and mean spirited. Imagine The Righteous Gemstones, but without the nuance and quality, but animated. This show is joyless, mean and simply not entertaining in the least. The voice cast is doing a commendable job with awful scripts, but the writing is just one crass, boring and unfunny attempt at humor after another. No jokes land, the animation is ugly too. When I see that something like this is being produced, it makes me question what kind of world were living in?

Watching this show, all I can ask is why is this show on the air? Who is this for?
