Grandmaster Yip Man

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2009)

Usually i try to avoid movies that have Donnie Yen in them mainly because of the bad stories, plots and acting. However i must digress that his movies contain spectacular fighting scenes well worth watching on it's own.
Once again, apart from SPL(Killzone) - Donnie Yen has returned to a martial arts movie with a lot of heart and soul behind it with great characters and a lot of depth. The story and plot is good and the acting is pretty reasonable. The fighting scenes are once again excellent as he demonstrates the Wing Chun fighting style as both fierce, gentle and philosophical.
A lot of people including your friends will encourage you to watch this movie saying it is probably one of the best Chinese movies out there. It's true and their encouragement is not without a foundation. This movie is brilliant and although it does not accurately depict Grandmaster Yip Man's life, it is very much well worth watching.
