The progression of a story depends on knowing where it is going in an overall sense. With "Dune - Part II", director Denis Villenueve understands and motivates on the context of what Part I promised. He delivers but there are different cracks and jumps that inherently lift but also restrict the film in certain ways.

The essence of "Wonka" is the idea of optimism. By the time we saw him in both Tim Burton's version and the original Gene Wilder film, he had already become a icon of his own making. This new film from Paddington's Paul King takes the middle road and in doing so bridges the concept of the man/child. He is still relished in the idea that only chocolate can save the world.
