30 minutes in the movie and i feel so bored.
Its obvious that tries to mimic the Ip Man 1/2/3/4 and fail flat out,

I must admit that when I stumbled upon the 2019 movie "Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" here in 2021 then I was fairly surprised and thrilled. I didn't know that they had made another Ip Man movie, so this was a nice surprise. And needless to say that I needed no persuasion to sit down to watch it.
Well, hold your horses there for a second. This movie is not as good as the most other Ip Man movies were, particularly the ones with Donnie Yen. No, not even close.
Sure, "Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" was watchable, but don't get your hopes up high for this 2019 movie from writers Liming Li and Qingshui Shi. It was watchable, yeah, but this movie was just lacking a properly thoroughly thought-through storyline. Everything in the movie seemed rushed and shallow.
Yu-Hang To - playing Ip Man - definitely knew his martial arts and put on a rather impressive display. But a movie about him just fighting was hardly something that counted as properly entertaining. A shame really, that the writers had failed to come up with a more interesting and complete storyline.
While I managed to sit through the entire movie, this is hardly a martial arts classic, nor is it a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.
My rating of "Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" lands on a four out of ten stars. The movie came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression. If you enjoy martial arts movies, there are far better movies out there. And if you enjoy movies about Ip Man, there are far better movies out there.

Just not in the same realm as the other Ip Man films, Donnie Yen is still the King.
ITS LIKE A DONNIE STYLE HE TRY TO ACT LIKE HIM , BUT ITS NOT BUT , COUSE NOBADY CAN REPLACE DONNIE YEN , ITS TIME TO GET MORE FROM DONNIE BEFORE HES GONNA OLD TO MUCH LIKE JET LEE , JACKIE CHAN ETC , SO THEY CANT NEVER EVER REPLACE AND WE GONNA MISS FOREVER , SO ITS GOOD TO WORK HARD IN THE LAST YEARS AND GET AS MUCH AS THEY CAN FROM DONNIE TO MAKE MOVIE A CLASS ... Europa fans !!
From the opening scene this movie does more to make wing chun look stupid than it does to entertain. It's very much performed in the style of "lots of movement, little visibility" and usually against numbers that makes the burly brawl from the Matrix Reloaded look positively gritty and realistic by comparison, while reducing wing chun to mostly chain punching. Poor representation of the art, retelling a story you've seen plenty of times before, and all of them done a lot better.
Music's good, though.
