Ip Man 3

To those of you asking where the second child is, this story is actually correct. The elder son is 12 years older than the younger one and was continuing his studies back in Foshan at the time.

I personally enjoyed this movie a lot, great themes, awesome morals, great story line, and I love the comedy in this movie as well. Very cheeky, but cute comedy. The fight scenes were great as well, loved every minute of it. You can actually feel emotion from the movie. They really did a good job of not only incorporating the true story of Ip Man, but also making sure to keep it a movie, not a documentary.

Awesome job done by Donnie Yen, Mike Tyson, and their director, Wilson Yip.

A third delve into the legend of Ip Man. And I will say that they managed to keep the third movie up to level with the previous two movies, and that was an achievement in itself.

The story here revolves around a property developer and his gangsters trying to claim a local school, and Master Ip Man takes it upon himself to stand up to them.

Donnie Yen makes a third and glorious return as Ip Man, and he does so once again with flying colors. He really was cast so well for this particular role, especially because he is capable of combining acting and martial arts with grace.

Similar to the previous two movies, then "Ip Man 3" is loaded with martial arts throughout the course of the movie. And the martial arts in this third movie was done with great skill, it was graceful and visually impressive to look at. It was nicely choreographed and equally so executed by the martial artists on the screen. There are some very memorable martial arts scenes throughout this movie, as there has been in the previous two, but the elevator scene was especially interesting.

The cast in "Ip Man 3" was good, although I personally didn't like that they had Mike Tyson in the movie. Sure he might throw a powerful punch, but he doesn't have acting talent nor much on-screen appeal. So I think they could have fared better with a different cast for the role of Frank.

It was also a nice touch to see a young Bruce Lee make an appearance in the movie, seeking to study with Master Ip Man. And actor Kwok-Kwan Chan did a good job, although it was a bit over-acted in a way. But it was fun, nonetheless.

The 2015 "Ip Man 3" movie is a definite must watch movie if you enjoy martial arts, and especially so if you enjoyed the previous two "Ip Man" movies from 2008 and 2010.

Yes, I do "get" that the third entry is intended to be more spiritual and more metaphysical and less exploitative.

No problem.

But, that said, there a fight scene in an elevator which will have even the most jaded viewer standing up because of the sheer exhilaration of the moves. And is worth the price of admission.

Just as Matt Damon seems destined to be the ultimate Jason Bourne, fans all over the planet have voted with their wallets and proclaimed Donnie the ultimate Ip Man. He does not disappoint. Cool as ever, I never get tired of watching his punches speed up at the end of a fight (which is how the viewer knows that maybe, possibly, he is getting just a little annoyed.) As a token of my respect for this film, I will not mention the performance of Mike Tyson. Which takes more self-restraint than you realize.

A tiny bit slow here and there, but a wonderful film overall and highly recommended.

What a lovely and meaningful movie. This movie emphasize why martial art is important, to defend but not to offense. And it also highlights the true meaning of love, not leaving thy lover when she needs us most and spending your last moments with the person you love and willing to give yourself for your loved one is the true meaning of love. And one of the most remarkable trait is that respect one other and accept defeat with equal favour. Perhaps this may easily be one of my favourite movies of all time. Donnie Yen portraits ancient Grandmaster YIP perfectly without any doubt he captures Mater Yip's Kindness and Generosity.

Was this 2 movies mashed together as one, or did Mike Tyson pay big bucks last minute to be added to the script? The story just didn't make sense. Nevertheless and as always, excellent choreography, directing and acting. I just wish the writing was tighter without the plot and technical issues.
