    An all-around great martial arts Chinese production!

    A lot of mixed reviews on here, too much/not enough fighting/story. Comparing this to IP Man series is just dumb.

    I liked the (an actual) story-line, the pacing was great and the length on point. Fight's/choreography was very well done. Directing was decent and cinematography on point. I liked the location sets. The score was a little overbearing. It was great to see Dave Bautista and what little we saw of Tony Jaa. All cast performed great but I was a little disappointed with Jin Zhang... his constant same facial expression was annoying.

    Nevertheless, and excellent martial arts flick with a good story and great action scenes that I thoroughly enjoyed! It's an 8/10 from me.

    If you want some extra Ip Man story it's worth a watch!

    As a fan of the original Ip Man with Donnie Yen, this film is good. It's got good fight scenes which to be honest is all I'm here for. Max Zhang is a good actor who plays his role well. If your looking for a good Martial Arts movie you are in the right place.

    Great fighting scene

    I haven't watched any kongfu movie for a long time. This movie definitely brought back all the good memory of Jackie Chen's martial art movies. The fighting scenes are awesome! Really have high respect for all the stuntmen in this movie. There are many intense fighting scenes. I really enjoy those!

    Visually Stunning & Just Plain Funny

    Rating 8.3/10 Best acting performance by Jin Zhang , Dave Bautista and Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh !! The fighting choreographies were amazing with literally unbelievable yet beautiful moves . If you're in the right frame of mind and preferably with a bunch of friends , this film should be loads of fun !!

    Entertaining with Flaws

    Master Z is an one time watch movie with good action sequences though the same can't be said to its storyline. Acting is okayish but not good. Dave Batista does his part pretty fine. If you are expecting it to be like Donnie Yen's Ip Man, you will be utterly disappointed. Nowhere close to his Ip Man trilogy. See it with less expectations you will be entertained if not amazed. Thumbs up for Action.
