Negative Positive
Title: Excellent Action and sound characterizations
Review: Although I was ultimately disappointed to find out that much of what is displayed in this allegedly 'based on a true story' tale is not, I thoroughly enjoyed the action and emotions portrayed by the cast.What I enjoyed most as I reflect on the film is that our hero is the best fighter out there and, unlike Rocky or Clint Eastwood or so many other superhero movies, we are not made to suffer through implausible scenes of our guy getting his butt kicked before he gets his. Donnie Yen as IP MAN is always the man and his being so takes nothing away from the drama or entertainment value of the film. This movie, I purchased just on the recommendations expressed here and I was very pleased. I would agree that it is one of the best martial arts movies that I have ever seen.Those who see the sequel Ip Man 2 will see the filmmakers regretfully return to the tried and true format.
