FilmFetch is a React app that allows users to search for movies using the OMDb API (Open Movie Database). The FilmFetch App is a user-friendly platform for discovering and exploring movies. The app is built using JavaScript with the React library. It also uses CSS for styling.

Functionality

• The app fetches movie data from the OMDb API using the fetch function and displays the results.
• When the user enters a search term and clicks on the search icon, the app sends a request to the API with the search term and retrieves the matching movies.
• The retrieved movies are displayed as cards using the MovieCard component.
• The app initializes with a default search term ("Wonder Woman") and displays movies matching this term.
• If no movies are found for the search term, it displays a message indicating "No movies found."
