Solid film

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2014)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Yip Man" (2008) is a mix of biopic and martial arts movie. It has some drama, but nothing really deep or unforgettable. It has cool fighting scenes, great art direction, nice acting. The movie looks beautifully, the set decorations are very good. The story, based on the life of real Yip Man, master of Bruce Lee, is involving and sometimes touching, although i believe it was all like this in real life, i do believe it's based on many real events, but certainly they haven't fight like this in that time or place.
Overall, "Yip Man" is enjoyable cross of biopic set in WW2 times, with some greatly choreographed fight scenes, great art direction, nice acting. It's a big predictable at times, but nevertheless i was involved during whole movie.
