The Body (2001)
3/10
Great idea, terribly executed.

The body is about an Israeli archaeologist who discovers an ancient skeleton that has found in a tomb in Jerusalem. The remains indicated it could have been have the body of Christ because of the crucifixion marks, faint marking around the skulls and many other signs. The Vatican then decides to send a priest to investigate the issue and make sure whatever she discovers does not become a major issue. I found the movie to be quite boring and had terrible performances by the actors. This movie is a great example of an interesting idea (discovering the body of Christ) terribly executed. If it were better made and had a better script, it could have been an excellent movie. The ending of the story make the movie seem quite pointless as well, since everything was covered up, and the body was actually not the body of Christ. After watching this movie, I have learned that in order for the movie to be entertaining, it has to be made well even though it was a great idea. I have also learned that we have to keep on digging deeper to find more facts before making assumptions. (They concluded that it was Jesus Christ before they looked at everything (the plaque hidden in the tomb that said it was David who was buried.

Overall, the movie is boring, badly directed, and had somewhat bad acting.
