This movie review on Ip Man’s the legend is born showcase the Master of Wing Chun. With the huge successes of "Ip Man" and the latest sequel, it's not surprising that the producers are moving forward and creating new movies to gain the consumer attraction. However, despite some solid moments, the film never really comes together.
It is not Donnie Yen that is acting and instead Dennis To. He can fight and that's about it. Yen can fight and act with ease, playing the lead instead of minor roles in the previous two. One can never feel that he is in danger, or feel with his character as he delivers a boring and uninspired performance as pre-Grandmaster Ip Man. I wish I can't say the same for the other new actors, but they really screwed up with the younger cast. Many actors from the previous two movies return, including Sammo Hung and Louis Fan which play different characters. Yuen Biao is a new addition to the franchise with his appearance by Ip Chun, the eldest son of the real Ip Man. Together these supporting actors make the best of what they are given.
This shows makes up mostly on fighting scene and there is not much substance in emotions and relationship or even the whole story of the past.The fights are fast-paced and well-choreographed, which i have mention earlier, it consist of mostly fighting scene and little detail. Every now and then, there will be fight just going on.Which i thinks that it isn't great after all as there is not much information about the shows, instead its about promoting on Wing Chun. Basically I feel that sequences look quite bland until the final act where it really heats up. The story revolves basically on moves and all of them grapple with each other throughout and revenge is taken. To me the story is basically nothing that keep us in suspense compared to the previous two movies, it serves as an excuse to see more fights and I think has practically nothing to do with the real IP Man's history but instead fighting all the way. To me, there is not much music, mostly its all the effects of the fighting scene. They did not show much about the history and what happen, the part where IP man knows the girl was shorten by a lot too and its just very brief.
By now, most of you should have watch this show and expect it to be excellent, to those who thinks that IP Man legend is born is not as appealing to the last two IP Man but at least it kill an hour and a half.
A short trailer of IP Man.
The ratings:2.5/5
