touching! great film Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is one of the very best films in recent years. Love it despite of having reservations with Donny Yen who I did not particular like. However, he was as great as could be and I changed my view about him. The love Ip Man had for his country, his family and friends were all so well illustrated. Also a little insight into how cruel the Japanese were towards the Chinese during the occupation although in real, they were far worse. A must seen film.

 Donnie Yen at his BEST Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
By now you must know this was the best HK film in 2008. The movie stands out from the rest of martial arts film due to the other aspects of the film - focus on family values, friendship, love for country ...etc. Don't get me wrong, the action was superb, thanks to Sammo's choreography and Donnie's delivery. Moreover, it would not be exaggerated to say that this would not be the same film without Donnie. Donnie delivered his best acting and action to date in this film. He abandons his normal style and truly embraced this character, thus bringing life and credibility to this film. The supporting roles were well cast as well especially with Ip Man's wife, played by someone with no acting experience. Some criticize Donnie's acting as bland, but in reality, his portayal of Ip Man is true to the master himself, according to Ip Chun (Ip Man's son). He was also able to capture the transition of a privileged man to a broken man mid movie without a hitch. The film is near perfection under the direction of Wilson Yip. It is truly the best collaboration between Donnie and Wilson.

really good film marred by unoriginal story. Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
its hard to review a film that many has deamed amazing, Ip man is such film, on some levels the film is outstanding like the fight scenes which shows donnie yen dishing out relentlessly fast punches but it is the story that is its major down fall unfortunately it has been done countless times; depicting the rise of a heroic figure against foreign oppression, here the film depicts the japanese one sided - evil. in fact the story is pretty similar a certain film called Fearless. you have all the archetype characters like seedy character, fighting antagonist, righteous hero, good friend etc.

as mentioned before fight scenes are fantastic donnie yen embodies wing chun with power and his speed is phenomenal. wire work is used occasionally which can prove distracting for a film so rooted in reality but they are minor annoyances. the fights are a refreshing change from what we see in the cinemas.

Donnie yen gives a subdued performance carrying the film, giving his character confidence. All other actors carry them selfs well, Gordon lam is one of the best in the film requiring him to flip from sleeze to tortured with ease.

maybe im being a bit harsh but for a film to be given so much praise and recognition faults are hard to ignore.

 I like it Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
To be honest, I am not even a Kung Fu action fan. I saw this movie simply because I heard that it was a very popular
movie. I have to say, I was captivated by the action and the story. . I don't really know anything about Ip Man and I don't know how
accurate the movie is but it is a good story . It makes me respect Ip Man but mostly it makes me realize what a
horrible time it was . I probably will never waste food again ,after seeing Ip Man took the bloody bag of rice to
the family of the dead person.

 Great Movie - bad quality Blu-Ray Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
This is one of the best Kung-fu movies I have ever seen. Some of the historical facts are a little shady (as to be expected) but the story is pretty good, the action is fantastic, and it's definitely one of the best examples of Wing Chun on film. I highly recommend watching this... but, maybe not on Blu-Ray.

Sadly, the Blu-Ray transfer is one of the worst I have ever seen. Lots of blocking/compression artifacts and very grainy. It's a real shame. I have not seen the DVD version, but I recommend purchasing that copy instead and saving your money. Also, the special features are not subtitled. Bummer.

Once again, AMAZING MOVIE!!!!! Crummy Blu-Ray transfer. :(

Get the DVD.

 Donnie Yen at the top of his game Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
What happen when you put the best kung fu actor of the 2000's ( Donnie Yen ) and the legendary Sammo Hung with a great real life story on a Wing chun master: you have what I think is the period kung fu film since 1994's Fist of legend and Drunken Master 2!!! I thought that fearless was good but this one in incredible. The story, acting and the fights are top notch. Can't wait for the sequel with Sammo stepping in front of the camera to fight Donnie.!!!

Ip Man - what a legend Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I'm certain 100% of Wing Chun practitioners or even other martial arts practitioners would enjoy this movie as much as us. Sammo Hung delivered some great action choreography (especially during the challenge between Donnie and 'new kid on the block' bully Fan Sui Wong). Watch the hand reflexes! Glad the close-ups plus slow-mo allowed us to appreciate the action. I'm sure the script is very close to form as Ip Man's son served as consultant in this movie and would not have wanted anything out of exaggeration.

Jet Li would have done a great job too but to be honest, although not a Donnie Yen fan (cause he seems to carry a little air of arrogance, sorry), I did enjoy this movie as this was one of his better performances (the last was Iron Monkey). Mesmerising action choreography (well done Sammo), good supporting cast, realistic setting and haunting music brought forth to life the story of a quiet achiever and the art of Wing Chun.

I only hope that the prequel or sequel, whichever it may be, do justice to this great art form and to the man himself, Ip Man . (i.e. no side-tracking or go off the rails with Hollywood ideas).

Donnie Yen as IP MAN Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I've been a long time Donnie Yen fan and I must say this is one of his best kung fu movie ever...
I've not seen a kung fu movie this good in a very long time... I guess the movie industires are becoming
so modernize or americanize... the fighting choreography was so good that I can't believe it made my eyes
pop out and it just made me want to see more... Donnie Yen is by far one of the greatest martial art actor
a side from Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Donnie never fell to wow me on how good his acting and martial art is... They picked the right person to play IP MAN... Donnie deliver the roll to it's best... I so recommand this
movie to anyone who's a Donnie Yen fan or martial arts fan.

 One of the best movies from Hong Kong Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The movie is very good for many reasons.

First of all - martial arts action is outstanding. You won't see silly unrealistic jumps but pure artistic fight made believable. Excellent choreography, something that you can also see in action movies with Tony Jaa.

Second - dramatic presentation and cinematography. This is a moving inspirational drama depicting the period of Japanese invasion to China. After watching you would feel you want to change. Dialogues, actor's play, colors, costumes and angle shots - everything makes me remember this story and reconsider my own life. It has been long time since I have seen such well-made cinema.

Third - film music. There will be a lot of sorrow erhu tunes combined with cello and orchestra. Magnificent.
