2/5
"Hokey doesn't even begin to describe it."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

0/4
"Plainly sick and grotesque, existing only to shock or nauseate an audience with hideous images, stale performances, lifeless photography, and painfully vile actions."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

1/4
"professes to be an honest depiction of ancient Roman excesses, but it succeeds only in being alternately boring and offensive"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

2/10
"...the film is without any redeeming social value. It's bad history, bad filmmaking, and bad pornography, too."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

1.5/5
"Despite the movie, the highlight of this three-disc set is the often hilarious commentary."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

0/4
"On the big screen is the only way one can, ahem, appreciate this gaudy, flat-out bizarre exercise in cinematic fragmentation."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

F
"I suppose certain college fraternities could make screening it part of their hazing rituals."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

"Caligula boasts a sort of notoriety known to few films. It was a lavish accident: the marriage of legitimate film and smut."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor
