Marvel Does It Again with #BlackWidow - #ChristmasCountdown #giftguide #review

We are a Marvel family here.  We love them -  all of them!  It is a joke that Thor is my boyfriend... I mean, I wouldn't deny it if he agreed, but ya know!  Anyways, Savannah loves all of the movies, Broxton loves all of them... and of course if it means bonding with the kiddo's, I am all about it!  We have watched them, laughed at them, been on the edge of our seats with them and you know we have cried with them too!  I really wish we had them all on DVD (perfect for road trips and the days our internet is flaky...) but thank goodness we have Disney Plus to get our fix on the ones we don't have a physical copy of.

We LOVE Natasha, so when Black Widow came out, we were so excited to see it!  Unfortunately, it did not work out for us to see it as soon as it came out, but you better believe it that we watched it as soon as we were able.  Whenever I think Marvel can't do any better, they release a new one and WOW!   
So, if you haven't seen this one yet... I suggest you do so - ASAP.  If you have seen it, might want to go buy it for under the tree for someone to add to their collection this holiday!
