i like the kung fu chinois

The grand master of all, Yip Man. This movie is the best out there in terms of story telling. They show how the life of Yip Man went by and what he had to go through in his lifetime since coming to Hong Kong. Do watch the movie if you want to know all the things related to him and how he came to be the grandmaster of all. As for the movie it has got every element in it from romance to emotion i nearly cried when northern lady fall ill with lung cancer. It does have many fighting scenes but not as much as another ip man series it generally focuses on story telling heavily. And do stay for the post-credits scene, especially if you wanna see the real footage of ip man practicing in wooden dummy

"Yip Man: Jung gik yat zin" is a Biography - Action movie in which we watch Ip Man being called to prove his skills in what it seemed to be a simple challenge. Now he has to fight against some Kung Fu styles and soon he will have to protect himself by the dangerous underworld of Hong Kong. I have to admit that I did not have high expectations from this movie because it does not belong in the Yip Man saga. This movie presents us a different aspect of Ip Man and what happened in postwar Hong Kong. The interpretation of Anthony Chau-Sang Wong who played as Yip Man is good but it cannot be compared with Donnie Yen's interpretation. Regarding the direction which was made by Herman Yau I have to say that his main focus was on the fights of Ip Man and not his life.

Very boring, barely any fight scenes, and severely misses Donnie Yen (1 viewing)

Well it can't be said for sure, if it's the last one, but it does feel like a closure to a series that has spawned for movies altogether. While the first two remain the best (with zero being the weak link in that chain, though there are always worse movies as I like to say), this is a fine addition and nice round up. Not only do you have two fine (mature) actors opposite/side-to-side, you also have a story that is told. A story that tries to show us, that violence is not key. Don't worry though, there is plenty of great action scenes in it. It actually heightens those scenes, when you have something solid in between them, that makes you wait for them

Good that National Arts Films Production beat Ip Man 3 to the punch on the final chapter of Ip Man's saga. When Donnie Yen announced that he would not do another sequel to Ip Man, I thought what a pity. But now when I see Anthony Wong playing the Ip Man's part, maybe someone like him is a better cast for telling the twilight years of Ip Man's story. The movie isn't going to be spectacular as Ip Man or Ip Man 2. You already know it from the cast. But it was good in its own ways because Anthony Wong's portrayal of the master was kind of spot on. Life in Hong Kong wasn't so easy in the '50s or '60s, and being an old man in that environment would have been hard even for a grand master of his caliber. The story integrates both Ip Man and Hong Kong pretty well. If there's a problem with this movie, story didn't flow as smoothly as it could have been, but finding story in Ip Man's old age probably wasn't so easy. I would accept this movie as Ip Man 3. I don't know how good the real Ip Man 3 is going to be, but without Donnie Yen in the starring role, I'm sure it wouldn't have the high tension previous two movies had. As many have commented, this rush to capitalize on the Ip Man's popularity is getting to be passé. This movie was acceptable as the swan song to the saga of Ip Man.

Of all the films in recent years based on Wing Chun Grand Master Ip Man, this one is by far the most authentic. The reason is simple and not just because it is made with the help and full endorsement of his son. There is an even more logical reason. Grand Master Ip made his name in Hong Kong when he started teaching Wing Chun, at middle age. This the exact starting point of this film whereas the others all focus primarily, or even entirely, on the earlier Ip Man, of whom little is known. These other attempts, therefore, freely resort to melodrama for entertainment effect. "Final fight" is an authentic biopic on the second half of the Grand Master's life. On the macro side, this is also a trip of nostalgia for people who lived in Hong Kong in the 50s and 60s. The screenplay was penned by talented Erica Lee, who is also author, columnist, lyricist, singer, radio program host, and a mother of two lovely daughters. Wong Chau-sang's portrayal of Grand Master Ip is brilliantly convincing. Wing Chun style is not hard to replicate on screen but difficult to master in reality. All the actors in these Ip Man films have done a decent job as far as what appears on screen is concerned, and let's leave it at that. Mush more important is to portray the low-profile, unassuming grand master who rises to the occasion every time when needed to. He is also patience, compassionate, tolerant, while unflinchingly uncompromising when it comes to matters of fundamental principles. I cannot think of any actor who could have done this as well as Wong Chau-Sang who is a grandmaster in his own right when it comes to performing arts, be it on stage or on screen. The support cast also well deserves recognition, and the names I mention here will be far fewer than the ones I've omitted. The best is Eric Tsang's, not just a top-notch comedian but also an excellent all-round actor, who plays Ng, the grandmaster of the White Crane style, a rival as well as a mutual admirer. People familiar with Hong Kong's TV entertainment would also enjoy his witty self-referencing to his popular TV show during a scene in which he commiserates with Ip the predicaments behind the glory of being the master of a martial art school. Jordan Chan provides good support in playing Ip's student Tang, who started out as an entry level cop and eventually rising to a "Chinese-ethnic chief detective". The character is modeled after a real-life individual, with the given name slightly changed. There is at least another dozen if I were to name them all. Two that I would like to mention, however, are mere cameos that have the least screen time: Liu Kai-Chi whom many consider Hong Kong's best character actor and Law Koon-Lan who is among Hong Kong's top stage actresses. They play a couple driven by poverty to sell one of their six children. Final remark: this reviewer had the great honour of shaking Grand Master Ip's hand in one of his birthday banquets in the late 60s.

I've spent the 1992 year in Beijing, People's Republic of China. While I was there to work as a foreign expert, I had the chance to work for China Films, where they were writing subtitles for Chinese movies which were exported to abroad customers. Most of the films were Kung Fu movies, and in all of them, the dialogues were so dumb it was laughable. it's not the case with this film. This a well-made movie, with nice battle scenes, but also with an interesting story about a real character. This Master of Wung Shin was the teacher of Bruce Lee. The story is going on from 1949 to the end of the 1960's. It's rather interesting. The version I've watched was in Cantonese, with subtitles, and I recommend it.
