(Y)ip Man is a guy you might not know of, although if you are into Martial Arts, you should know who he is/was. It's not that important for the movie that you do, the information will be revealed for all at the end of the movie, when you hear/read about the real life Ip Man. Considering his impact on the Martial Arts scene, I guess he couldn't have been portrayed by anyone else then Donnie Yen (at this particular time that is).

Still the movie leaves you with a feeling that there could have been more and what do you know? There is a second movie coming (although I'm not sure when that is supposed to be playing time line wise). Maybe when the second movie is released, it will make this one look a bit better too. We'll see. A good movie, a great performance, but we have to wait for a few other goodies as it seems.
