entertaining movie, but over rated.

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2009)

This is entertaining movie. First. It is not true biography of Yip Man, very free interpretation of his life. Second.
For mature martial artists, movie is disappoint. Choreography is nice, but as usual with kung fu movie, very stylized. Wing Tsun fighting style is poorly represented because of "not a flashy style", high kicks and grappling and trowing added in, too. Shortcut: if you like kung fu movies in general, u will like this one. that is were the high rate (8+ now) comes from. If you like "good quality" movies (drama, acting, storyline) in general, this is not recommended. Acting is stiff, development of story is too predictable. But not so bad as most kung fu movies!!
