just watched 2 with my parents.
pretty good cuz i enjoy watch the martial arts, obviously the plot was predictable.

+ Show Spoiler [Just like the first one...] +
other masters want to bout, so Ip Man hands it to them
foreigner stirring up troubles
Just after Ip Man become good bro with the other master, he dies
Ip Man owns foreigner, in their own game


+ Show Spoiler +

The boxing match was fuckign crooked, punch after the bell, and disabled kicking. wtf!
Well played at the end, but weird how it ended like that.I thought the crooked ref would call break after machine gun beating on Twister's head, cuz he was already down.

loved the first one, loved this one as well. too bad the one i got was the one released in mainland china, so its in mandarin. still waiting for the cantonese one!!!
+ Show Spoiler +

had a pretty cool showcase of different martial arts; like the last one, wingchun is portrayed really well, and i loved watching hung gar too. great fight scenes, beautiful butterfly knife action.

the one problem i had with it was why yipman would only think to attack the white dudes biceps (like he told hung) when he was almost ko'd. given the way he is, he should be intelligent and calculating, formulating a strategy before the fight - they even showed this where he is sitting in his home next to the wooden dummy, pondering the fight.

still a fantastic fight scene though. its a nice change to see a more even and brutal fight. loved the last bit where he throws in some fancy non-wingchun moves lol.

Second movie is only as good as fight scenes, other than that its complete garbage dialog/acting/plot wise (especially how westerners are portrayed, god it was painful to watch).

Martial arts movies that are not "complete garbage dialog/acting/plot wise" is a rare, rare exception. Of course, most of them are complete garbage when taken as a whole as well, so it's not much of a surprise either way.

Sorry but I must disagree with the majority here and say this movie was an absolute piece of shit and let-down after the awesomeness of the first.

+ Show Spoiler +
The Twister was a faggot and seriously, this is a kung-fu flick - therefore boxers are only allowed to be meat-headed sidekicks who are there for comical effect and have their asses kicked by the Chinese (see Born to Defence by Jet Li). If this was a real martial arts movie the boss would have been some rich white guy in a suit who tells his goons to step-aside and throws away his gun because for some reason he has incredible kung-fu skills.

I saw this movie at the movie theater (Australia) today which was packed with 90% Chinese. The guy sitting behind me was swearing at 'Twister' as if he harmed his little sister and a lot of people were clapping when IP man finally took Twister down. The movie itself was throughly enjoyable with high calibre action sequences but personally there were too much Chinese pride for me to handle. They should have named it 'Foreign devil and the Chinese angel.'

Lol at everyone saying there was too much "Chinese pride" and nationalism :p

How about Hollywoodmovies hmm?

Spiderman 3 for example... Somewhere near the end he swings by an american flag flapping in the wind (Ruined the scene tbh)
Almost every Hollywood movie has an american flag/nationalism in there somewhere...
(Doesn't take away from the fact that I like most Hollywood movies though)

I liked Ip Man, it gave some more insight in their culture in those days. And it showed great fighting.

Also I recommend everybody Ong Bak, that movie rules :p

Actually no they don't - they only need to search for the final fight scene in that movie on YouTube which will save them from sitting through two hours of police drama boredom. I was angrier about the plot being so fucking shit than when so and so died in such and such scene.

I thought the fight in the middle was pretty fun too, when he started doing takedowns and wrestling lol. Youre right the story sorta sucked, but it wasn't that bad. That or maybe I'm used to bad martial arts movie stories from watching them growing up.
