Mestre Z: O Legado de Ip Man

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.

Honestly I didn't expect the movie to be that good since one of the prequel (Ip Man 3) went south, but I was definitely proven wrong. The fight scenes are decent, conversations between characters are kept simplistic and to a minimal. Although the movie has a typical hero storyline, there are little twists and turns which makes the movie interesting to watch throughout the whole film. In my opinion, this movie would not outshine its prequels (Ip Man 1 & 2) due to the simplism in storyline, nevertheless it is still an action-packed, fun and entertaining movie. Definitely would recommend people to watch it.

7/10.

Great movie, definitely worth watching - Mites comes to director Woo-ping Yuan, Best performance by Jin Zhang, and Michelle Yeho. The choreographies of the battles were amazing, with really good moves, the film is good in its own right, which also finds it continuing the plot line in the context of the previous films. I loved the plot line that unfolds through the colonial era in Britain and its governmental and official corruption in capitalist crimes, which gradually expresses disconnection of human-government complaints, on political and social issues in China.

I am the biggest 'anything' IP Man fan! This was so much fun. You know, the acting at times was a just a bit unpolished but the lead actor is great and the fighting scenes... no way could they be real... but brilliant ad fun to watch. Just what I needed today! If you like to enjoy your martial arts I say watch this and be pleasantly surprised!

An epic tale martial arts coreography and a nice setting from the era down to the tiniest detail. A mandarin classic movie full of action pack carried by a good directorial overcome a lackluster acting from the leads(I have to give them credit for pulling off a brilliant martial arts scene btw) and mediocre script.
