7 Great Scarlett Johansson Roles ...

Whether you like it or not, “Iron Man 2” is sure to be the movie to see at the beginning of this summer. I’ve seen it, and while I don’t want to ruin the plot, let me just tell you this — Scarlett Johansson kicks butt! She looks amazing, tough and sexy and gorgeous… I wonder how long she had to train to do the stunts and fight scenes in this movie? And where oh where does she shop?

This movie didn’t get the acclaim it should have — it is HILARIOUS! Scarlett Johansson’s character, a sassy semi-goth girl who lives with her wealthy father, is a riot. In one scene, her father’s embarrassingly young girlfriend thinks Francesca is saying “peace,” but she snarkily corrects her… she was letting her know she was just her father’s “piece.”

Sadly, we don’t’ get to actually see Scarlett Johansson in this movie, because it’s animated and she does one of the voices. She does it well, though, and you can tell she had fun doing this movie!

Say what you will about how great this movie was, I hated it. I did love Scarlett Johansson’s performance in it, though, and thought it was the only good part of the whole boring film. I just didn’t get it…

In this movie, Scarlett Johansson plays opposite another of my favorite actresses, Natalie Portman. They play the ill-fated Anne Boleyn, and her sister, Mary, both of whom become lovers of England’s King Henry the VIII. We all know what happens to Anne, but watch the movie to learn more about the other Boleyn girl, Mary.

This movie is a classic, perfect for watching on the same night as “Wristcutters” or maybe “Memento.” Scarlett Johansson is perfect, and this movie was a great way for audiences to get to know her acting ability… and boy, does she look YOUNG.

This book made me laugh and it made me cry, and so did the movie. In this film, Scarlett Johansson plays Nanny, who becomes the primary caregiver to Grayer, son of uber-wealthy but completely clueless Mr. and Mrs. X. She plays this role with such heart that you find yourself believing this is really her life… thank God, it’s not!

Whether you like her looks or acting skills, it appears that Scarlett Johansson is going to be around for quite some time, and I’m glad! I think she’s very talented! Which of these roles did you like her in the best? Or was there another Scarlett Johansson movie or role you liked better?
