      Donnie raised the bar

      Enjoyable, like a 70s kung-fu movie. Fake, stilted, ok acting, and lots of caricature acting. DEI won't approve this! Sure, it was enjoyable to watch, but the earlier Ip Man movies made him into a real person. This tried to make him a superman too early, without the contemplation alluded to in Donnie's movies. (I'm not a fan of his communist leanings, but his movies are good.)

      Similar to Jackie Chan, it's staged fighting at its finest. Missed hits, faster than crossbow moves, and conflicted evil guys, this hits all the martial arts movies requirements.

      The lead is good. I'd watch him in other movies.

      weird

      It s not good as Donnie Yen IP Man series. Fight scenes is awful , effects are like cheap movies etc...

      I think this director Liming Li isnt capable for this kind of movie. Low budged , poor fight scenes , bad acting , weak careography ,but its watchable because everyone likes wing chun master ip man :)

      One last word ; this movie is different from Wilson yip 's and Donnie Yen's ip man series but they tried to copy signature moves and mimics of donnie yen.
