I was waiting to see this film ever since I heard about which was back in 2009. I have no clue why it took so long. I haven't seen any of this directors film before so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm a huge martial arts movie fan and I've see all of them you name it. When it comes to Ip Man films this was the only one I was most disappointed at. There are a total of 5 Ip Man films. Now the things I liked about this film is the fight scenes which had a beautiful flow of classical music and had a brilliant visual show. The story shows Ip man before the war and after the war in Hong Kong. I can tell the fight scenes in here were very difficult to shoot and I admire that, and this shows you real movements of the traditional kung fu styles featured in this film. After watching what Donnie Yen has done with this character I don't think anyone could come close. The original Ip Man was a great over the top film . This film has more details and explains a lot of the things they never showed about his life. You must be patient to watch this and you will really love it . The US version has different ending as to the international version . Watch both. 9/10 outstanding.
