30 minutes in the movie and i feel so bored.
Its obvious that tries to mimic the Ip Man 1/2/3/4 and fail flat out,

Just not in the same realm as the other Ip Man films, Donnie Yen is still the King.
When you cannot tell if it supposed to be a comedy or a martial arks movie, then something is terribly wrong. It somehow reminds me of KingFu Hustle by how goofy it is.
The only thing done extremely well is the scenery, filming locations, costume design and overall time period feel.
It had the potential to visually be absolutely stunning, but the plot and acting just ruins the experience. Hence, the wasted potential. Such a sad fizzle ending to the extraordinary Ip Man series.

Ip Man: Kung Fu Master is the latest entry in a number of various series chronicling the life of Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man. This might also be the weakest of depictions full of sloppy choreography, unnecessary wire work, and a fragmented story that should have been Ramen-noodle-simple but was instead as complex as fugu preparation. Dennis To plays the role with charisma and honor, which is unfortunately wasted on this Saturday afternoon Kung Fu Theater special.
Set during his time as a police captain, Ip Man is on the path to become a full-on Wing Chun master. He becomes involved with a hostile Japanese agent who is seeking to pave a way for the oncoming invasion. Torn between his duties as a police officer and his responsibilities as a martial artist committed to the Foshan community, Ip fights a wronged clan, and eventually the Japanese themselves.
The plot cannot decide what it wants to be: a historical action piece or a silly crime drama. Characters are introduced, and then rudely dropped, without reason or development. Even the time period is largely obscure; timelessly in limbo somewhere between the 1930s and Morpheus' Matrix. Kung Fu Master is as haphazard as the drunken boxing style with considerably less grace.
Dennis To is a great martial arts action star. He moves with precision, fights with a smile, and has range enough to show loving care for his burgeoning family. As Ip Man, To brings honor to the role but the storytelling certainly does not give much to play with. Is he a master? A student? Police? A masked man? There is no cause, only action as a form of reaction, which certainly does not make a compelling narrative.
Ip Man: Kung Fu Master plays out in a series of barely-connected events and bland kung fu battles. Dennis To seems to work best in those intimate moments of combat when his feet and hands clap with power. However, he is all too mute when being forced to encapsulate Liming Li's vision of Ip as a rallying cry for Chinese unification.

I must admit that when I stumbled upon the 2019 movie "Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" here in 2021 then I was fairly surprised and thrilled. I didn't know that they had made another Ip Man movie, so this was a nice surprise. And needless to say that I needed no persuasion to sit down to watch it.
Well, hold your horses there for a second. This movie is not as good as the most other Ip Man movies were, particularly the ones with Donnie Yen. No, not even close.
Sure, "Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" was watchable, but don't get your hopes up high for this 2019 movie from writers Liming Li and Qingshui Shi. It was watchable, yeah, but this movie was just lacking a properly thoroughly thought-through storyline. Everything in the movie seemed rushed and shallow.
Yu-Hang To - playing Ip Man - definitely knew his martial arts and put on a rather impressive display. But a movie about him just fighting was hardly something that counted as properly entertaining. A shame really, that the writers had failed to come up with a more interesting and complete storyline.
While I managed to sit through the entire movie, this is hardly a martial arts classic, nor is it a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.
My rating of "Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" lands on a four out of ten stars. The movie came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression. If you enjoy martial arts movies, there are far better movies out there. And if you enjoy movies about Ip Man, there are far better movies out there.
