    Best martial arts movie I've seen. Great and, for what is more, realisitic fights during the Japanese' occupation of China. Good atmosphere, decent acting, but I'm not so into the chinese dialogue style. Recommend watching it, though.

    Martial Arts at it's finest.

    It's not too often we see martial arts mixed with a very deep and serious story. It's always a comedy or a type of action comedy like Rush Hour. If you are a martial arts lover, this is it!

    Ip Man offers great fight sequences like I've never seen before. Beautifully crafted with stunning vintage looking cinematography and a story that keeps you invested in the main character, this movie exceeded my expectations and as…

    If this film was a love interest, it would be the one you take everywhere to show off to your friends, take home to your parents, and stare at lovingly for hours, even if they're asleep, because when they wake up and smile at you it will make your whole day.

    Ridiculously cheesy yet hugely entertaining martial arts film that's both badass and moving, although very sappy at times.

    While I'm not too sure why the film is held in such high regarded (rated 220 on IMDB of all time) I'm not going to lie and tell you the film doesn't have an irresistible charm to it, through it's over the top yet completely ingenious fight scene to it's leading man Donnie Yen's stern looked performance as the Chinese master with…

    Seriously, I didn't know that human fists could move at that speed, so awesome!
    First of all, let me say this. I, for one, am kinda "obsessed", no obsessed is to hard core. I am very interested in Oriental culture, let's put it that way. I love how their culture is based on age old tradition, and that honour is such an important part of their lives.

    ANYWAYS, 'nuff said 'bout me. How about the movie?
    Well, it was…

    Pretty cool historical martial arts film, set in a different era than most other martial arts films I've seen. Features some spectacular choreography. Really enjoyed this, and looking forward to watching the sequel.

    Ip Man is one tough bastard! I saw this movie because I saw an advertisement for Ip Man 2 so I wanted to see the one first. I love martial arts movies and this one is very good. It has some corny lines and some bad acting but the focus of this movie is the fighting and there is plenty of it and it rocks. I found myself really anticipating every fight Ip Man has because he just destroys everyone…

    Pretty thin on plot, but the fight choreography and execution is excellent. Fast forward through the dialogue and shitty acting and just watch the fight scenes.

    People fight, and then they fight some more, all of which goes to show that I lack any understanding of martial arts films. It *is* beautifully filmed though.
