Favourite martial arts movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2017)

High-budget and high-quality. Ip Man is really a unique kung fu movie with excellent sequels. The fight scenes were incredible and built onto the story nicely. Southern kung fu styles like Wing Chun (less acrobatic/less kicking and more short-range than Northern Shaolin styles) are rarely shown in movies, so it was great to see a different type of kung fu on-screen. Donnie Yen is a top actor/martial artist and perfect as Ip Man. It was fast paced and somewhat set out in story arcs (the sequels are entirely laid out in story arcs, with one overarching arc). Soundtrack was also good. Can't really fault the movie, so 10 stars. Highly recommend.
