Rating: 2/5 -- Yen's handful of duels do delight; it's everything surrounding them that feels tired and trite. Full Review

Rating: B -- As an exaggerated, myth-making martial-arts movie, Ip Man is often thrilling.

Rating: 4/5 -- Not only is it one of the most entertaining and exciting movies out of Hong Kong for many years; Ip Man is a bona fide martial arts classic. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The fanboys and girls won't notice such failings amid the displays of wing chun kung fu--the extras and body doubles do some truly impressive acrobatics--and those with a taste for big historical tearjerkers will be happy as well. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- If you're looking for great action scenes, you've found them. But if you desire more than eye candy, such as character and plot development and historical accuracy, you'll have to look elsewhere. Full Review

It remains an inexplicable, contextless bit of kung fu historicosploitation -- albeit a very satisfying one.

Product Description:

Behind every great man there lies a teacher, and this was certainly true of Bruce Lee, who claimed as his mentor a martial arts expert named Ip Man (1893-1972). A genius of Wushu (or the Chinese martial arts school), Ip Man grew up in a China nearly ripped to pieces by racial hatred, nationalistic strife, and warfare. He rose like a phoenix above these ashes, however, courtesy of his participation in matches against various Wushu masters and kung fu warriors -- ultimately training martial arts icons such as Lee. This biopic from director Wilson Yip dramatizes Ip's life story.
