This is one of the very few martial arts movies that i like, because it's all seriousness from the word go. It has very nice and entertaining storyline....with unbelievable fight scenes, when i say unbelievable i don't mean impossible i mean they were totally awesome....AND they chose the perfect actor to play the role of "Master Yip Man".
Ther is one minor problem that i have with the film though. And that is the way that the filmmakers portrayed karate, if anyone ever watched "Fist of Legend", you will see that karate was payed adequate respect. Although Jet Li who used the wushu style throughout the film (Fist Of Legend) beat the hell out of the karatekas in the film there were two masters in the film that proved that karate can be a very very formidable weapon in the right hands....in "Yip Man" karate was pretty much trampled upon (which is a total fallacy in my humble opinion) and the last boss was a total weakling...Master Yip Man ate him for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
