Ip Man Exciting, True story of Martial Arts Master Ip Man, whose life reflected a reserved strength of honour and loyalty to family and country, inspiring unity, that led to China's victory over Japan, and inspired and instructed Bruce Lee, fostering his own greatness. It surely caused a few "Awe"(s), and, "Yes"(s) from me! And held breaths, too! (2nd viewing coming soon.)

Top tier martial arts movie I found this title on a bunch of top ten lists and gave it a watch. It could easily be on top three lists. This is one of the best martial arts films out there. Donnie Yen is masterful in his serenity and at his best in this role. The choreography is beautiful, the story is compelling, and the action is clean without feeling forced. There is little or no wire work and they made sure to create a good mixture of unarmed vs armed, one vs many, and style vs style.

Awesome martial arts flick Awesome Kung Fu flick, my only complaint is, I wish Google went with the proper, original name, YIP Man, and not IP Man. Happy to see this proper subtitled version, and not some crappy dubbed version.

Amazing talent!!! This has got to be the best and most challenging martial arts movie ever made. Unbelievable speed and accuracy in stunning combos. If you like the deadliest dance that is martial arts, then this movie is a must buy. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would lay them all on the table. Great job guys.
Amazing film One of the best movies I have ever seen. Donnie Yen is incredible! Highly recommend this film. You don't have to fancy martial arts to appreciate this film.. It's an amazing story.
