Jman888 Moderator February 6, 2013 Share February 6, 2013 Anyone watched this? If you are expecting Donnie Yen style of Ip man, you can forget about watching this. Donnie Yen kungfu background is the extreme opposite of Wing Chun. The fighting scene probably only about 15% of the whole movie, and it is not all about Ip man, and it is also a love/romance story.... and for those who know Wong Kar Wai's movie, you are allow to sleep in the cinema in between the show but please dun snore [laugh] ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altivo 3rd Gear February 6, 2013 Share February 6, 2013 Dont know leh. For me, Donnie Yen's face has been ingrained as Ip Man. Tony Leung give me the broody thinker moody feel. So not sure if it will be weird watching him as a martial arts expert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator February 6, 2013 Author Share February 6, 2013 No wonder Tony Leung says he doesnt want to do Grandmaster 2.... he probably fell asleep too acting in it... the 3 main actors/actress were trained in their respective martial art for 2-3 years, zhang zheng even went for competition. The movie took 8 years from research to complete. Tony Leung part think less than 50% of the movie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyfitms Twincharged February 6, 2013 Share February 6, 2013 what kinda martial arts film only has 15% of fight scenes... This the one that tony leung was badly injured and so exhausted that he has to take a long break from filming? If so, then really wasted his efforts with such poor review of the show..

So it's more of an Arty Farty movie lah. I prefer Tony Leung in Infernal Affairs and Lust Caution. The latter really bring out the beast in him!

So not sure if it will be weird watching him as a martial arts expert. the story of ip man in this movie is a bit different from the Donnie Yen ip man, cos it shows that the wife never go to HK with him. We are not sure which version is correct. This one also show that his 2nd child was a girl who died of starvation during the war. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
