Ip Man: The Final Fight

I like period films. Don't expect plenty of martial arts action from this film. This is not like Donnie Yen's "Ip Man" franchise films. Still enjoyable to me.

Received item on time, as promised. Enjoyed this version, a little different from the other version but still enjoyed it. Attempted to be a more factual biography! Nonetheless, still enjoyed the movie.

The leading actor, Wong Chow Sung, acts great in the movie. His slow walking and talking (except the fights) of Old Ip Man is right to the point. Tbe scenes of old Hong kong (the cars, the building, the street side food stalls) show exactly what Hong Kong looked like in those old days. This movie is different from Ip Man 1 to 3, by Donnie Yen. Ip Man friends must see and own this movie. Another Ip Man movie........A legend is born.Ip Man is another movie to watch as well. These added up total 5 Ip Man movies in the market. I have them all in my collection.

Another version of IP Man. Looks like good production and fight choreographies. However, actor playing IP Man is kind of bland, compared to Donnie Yen's IP Man. Nonetheless, still enjoyed it.

If you're looking for a lot of fighting - there's a bit of it, but this film is mostly about Ip Man's students in Hong Kong. The finale is the main fight between Ip Man and his adversary, but this film concentrates on the philosophies and ethics behing Wong Chun. "Grand Master" was the same way - mostly strategy and method, and not much fighting, but it's a good thing, because why have a movie about long contests all the time. These two films showcase the integrity and insights into Ip Man.

If you love Ip Man then you'll love this movie!!

The movie is ok to me but is a failure to extend IP Man 1,2, and 3. The fight scenes are not nearly as good and the acting is rather bad because it is filmed in Chinese dialogue with English dialogue dubbed in. I have some kung fu movies with dubbed in dialogue like some with Bruce Lee and they are much easier to follow and understand. In this movie the subtitles do not follow the spoken dubbed in dialogue and often goes into impromptu near equivalent translations that only match the subtitles in meaning. Often the spoken dialogue comes in reverse order form the way it is printed in the subtitles.I am very disappointed in the movie as it is not that good either. The story line is more like old stereotypical Chinese movie drama. The morals of good over evil lasts forever in traditional fashion of other films.I like to see the Kung Fu action movies and this movie is not that good for fight scenes. Most of the action is in slow motion like most are so it is slow enough for the western eye to follow the action. Also, some of the Wing Chun is good watching but the good scenes are too few and too long in between.I appreciate the movie being made to honor IP man but it did not honor him nearly as well as the Donnie Yen version of IP man because his grace dignity and good looks are hard to match. The dialogue is too hard to follow because the lips movement are not in sync with the dubbed in English spoken dialogue.

I liked this movie because it was a true story and certainly told it like it was

La mejor película sobre la vida de Ip Man en mi opinión, más mesurada, más humana, no por ello fiel a la realidad, pero muy disfrutable. Las peleas son más sobrias pero merecen la pena. Edición en chino con subs en inglés sin más opciones.

As much a soliloquy on ageing and friendship and dignity as a martial arts movie. I found it very moving as a warm portrait of a great man. Anthony Wong gives a fine performance and I'm sorry that many reviewers have missed the point. If you want an old man kicks ass film don't buy it although that said there are some good set fight sequences. The Final Fight isn't one anyone can win so if you're in denial about old age and death and think if your heroes martial skills are good enough that makes them mortal then you'll probably find this film disappointing. There are some sad moments but there is a lot of wry humour like the section where a newly successful Bruce Lee fails to impress the old man

Completar la saga sobre Ip Man y el sistema de boxeo (KungFu) Wing Chung.En su última etapa de vida. Con un magnífico actor. Y una gran producción espectacular. Lo único que no me ha gustado es que solo se escuche en su idioma original, y que no disponga de subtitulado en castellano/español...

wow
