Ip Man 2 Review

at 6:39 PM | | Labels:

Ip Man 2 pretty much picks up where the last one ended. The story is pretty bland, with most of the plot devices only there to lead to the next fight. You also have a blatant cinematic display of Chinese pride that is rather blatant and unsubtle, but if all of that is a-ok with you, then you're well on your way to get blown away by amazingly choreographed action scenes that put many recent martial art films to shame. I kind of secretly wished for the melodrama of the first one, but I guess a popcorn flick will do just as well. 7.9/10.
