What's really awesome about the Ip Man saga is not only is it a great set of Kung fu flicks, which the third installment totally is. Donne Yen, brings some ill fast punching action to the table. At the same time, it's greatly dramatic.
The plot is simple. Ip Man proves to be as great of a father as he is a marshal artist when he gets way too involved in his son's school, by protecting it from a crime lord who wants to tear it down.
Using in a exploitative manner, "Iron" Mike Tyson plays this crime lord. It's a lot more awesome than it is cheesy, as the movie makes a scenario of the world's fastest punch going up against the world's most powerful. Though it would have looked better back when Mike was in fighting shape, it's still one of the coolest moments in Kung fu.
Speaking of cool moments, Ip Man has a hefty load of great battles with a few different forms being represented. The action was timed out perfectly, not too long, just long enough to be epic.
Another plot in the movie is the relationship between Ip Man and his wife who suffers from cancer. It was surprisingly fulfilling seeing this relationship flush out in-between the Kung Fu.
It was a sharp looking movie with a lot of wicked fight scenes and well done in the drama department.
One of the rare sequels the does nor diminish the quality of the franchise
