A truly great story and movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2009)

I've never been a huge fan of martial art movies, mostly because they rarely combine the good story with good fighting. I did however like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" back when it came despite it's aerial theme and fairytale ways, because it told a great story in a good way true to it's universe.
"Ip Man" is a great story with the more realistic and human fights, and serves as a counter to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The one common thing is both tell their story with heart and delivers a cinematic experience you'll remember.
Highly recommended and a must watch movie in my book.
