Entertainment Reviews:
The fights, doled out judiciously amid more tender scenes revolving around aging, instruction and community, even have a delightfully old-fashioned body-blow groundedness to them.

Rating: D+ --
The Final Fight plays out like a collection of greatest-hits vignettes barely connected to one another.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
This is a rare case where, if a film had been livelier and less traditional and "respectful," its lead performance might have seemed less special.

Cut off from his home and family in China, martial-arts teacher Ip Man tries to adapt to life in Hong Kong. Intriguing if reverential account of an icon's final years.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
With a political edge that recalls some of the work of Ip Man's most famous pupil, the film is nevertheless at its strongest as a character study.

Eye for Film
Ip Man was a notable martial arts instructor, he was not a saint. Perhaps someday, somebody will make an accurate film about the man. Meanwhile, we have these kung fu pseudo-biopics to entertain us.

The overall sense is of a rushed, simplistic installment in a well-worn biography franchise.
