To tell you the truth I watched Grandmasters with my son. He had been pleased with the idea of another Ip Man movie but he turned out to be disappointed and did not watch the movie up to the end. On the other end I enjoyed the Grandmasters movie so much that I also made a pause after watching the first half. I just needed time to cope with my emotions. I was so full of feelings that I actually wanted a break. When I finished watching it finally I found it hard to determine with my impression. No doubt I was delighted but its nature was not very clear to me. Now I can say why I liked Grandmasters immensely.
First of all the movie is very scarce in events, the biography of Ip Man is shown in such little details that it would be hard to get the complete character picture. Read more http://www.viewforum.net/forum.php at the movie section.
