IP MAN movie review
Western they got Spiderman, Superman, Iron Man… we eastern got IP MAN a.k.a 葉問 !!! At first I look at the poster I’m a bit confuse with the title… IP MAN? IP? Internet Protocol? HUH?!?!?! Then after check out the Chinese word there only realize is actually pronounce as YIP MAN…I believes a lot people confuse when first look at the poster title…
Anyway, the film starting with Donnie Yen as Yip Man and features fight choreography by Sammo Hung~ GREAT COMBO. The film focuses on Yip’s life during the 1930s to the 1940 during Second Sino Japanese War, then his spirit brings hope to all the china people… typical storyline but the action is SUPERB!!! and Donnie Yen really portrait it well.But seem Yip Man unbeatable in this movie… there is no one can defeat him… only gun… which at the end of the scene he got shot.
Yip Man
In this movie is all about Wing Chun kung fu style and how Yip Man use it kick people ass. Is kind of a close combat style and really make a big hit this time. Bruce Lee was once of Yip Man’s most famous pupil, studied under him from 1954 to 1957. At the end of the movie it show the photo Bruce Lee and Yip Man together.
Don’t miss this movie.. you should watch the kung fu scene!!! AWESOME!!! I give a 8/10 for this movie…

Yip Man was an extraordinary man who has had and continues to have a significant influence on many people. Yip Man brought this great art of Wing Chun to the world (before which it was a closely guarded secret for several hundred years.) This is an extraordinary movie that also reveals the horrors of the Japanese occupation of China, and is very well acted, scripted, and has tremendous fight scenes.

In the movie you can see many wing chon tecknics and I understand that wing chun is one of the best kon-fu because it use the listless moves which a man must do.
