First of all i want to say that who ever wrote that review on the Ip man movie must not know anything about Ip man and Wing Chun, or he is smoking the good stuff.

this movie sucks!! this is just another stupid Hong Kong Kung Fu movie and another Chinese movie making another stupid Chinese hero like Wong Fei Hung. this is not a drama, or has anything of that sort. its not a story of I man, its just Donnie Yen fighting in a Wing Chun style and showing off. Once again. Ip man had real flaws and went through real problems from rich to wealthy, to poor to dying of drug addiction. what made this man fall that far? is what a movie in his honor should be like. the fact that they let the Ip family be involve was a huge mistake. because i am sure they were against showing Ip man as a real human being. the family was more concern of saving face rather then truly immortalizing this great man.

as a practitioner of Wing Chun i am truly disappointed at this world release film but i do have hope, because i know there is another movie of Ip man on the works this one will be directed by the awesome director of "in the mood for love" and starring the only good actor in Hong Kong T. Leung.

i hope that this will be a true depiction of Ip Man.

as for this 2008 movie, its nothing but a stupid Kung Fu movie with a bad script and plot

Nuff said
