The value inserted into the book_id column of the Review table should be in the Book Table.If not, it throws an error like this.

Why am I violating an integrity constraint? (ORA-02291)

You need the "Marvel: Iron Man" franchise to exist before you insert "Iron Man" into Movie.

Also, you should always use explicit column names in INSERT statements.

INSERT INTO Franchise ( Fran_Name )
VALUES ( 'Marvel: Iron Man' )

INSERT INTO Movie ( Movie_Title, Screen_Time, M_Reviews, Fran_name )
VALUES( 'Iron Man 2', 124, 7.0, 'Marvel: Iron Man' );

...and more controversially, I feel database tables should have plural names if the table represents an unbounded collection. _{(I look forward to the dozen or so comment replies from people who disagree ;) )}
