I don't know why people hate this movie, it has the original energy, great casts, story and great fun from the first movie. Hey Bill Murray was in this movie and the other original casts! I find it sad that damn trolls ruined my chances of watching a sequel from the 2016 movie! So f--k u you critics who wrote so many damning reviews! This is suppose to be a movie where you put your damn everyday mind to rest and just enjoy the absurdity that movies has to offer to you. I personally enjoyed this movie more than (yes) the new star wars movie and am now sad because of all these negative critics, never ever am going to see a sequel!!!!! So for all you damn i----ts who are hanging on to their childhood obsession ( never growing up or upgrading), I say thank you for f---ing up a really fantastic upgrade to a franchise that I will never be able to see. So for all the dumb critics who gave this movie a 1 star, grow up and see how life has progressed, and get your own apartment, mama's getting sick of washing your laundry!

Overall, Ip Man's series has been a very inspirational trip for me. I grew up with Bruce Lee and from the direction of the director, I see where the movie is going to, whether it's historic or not. Before anyone else say anything about the western boxer in this movie, I lived through the end 70's of Asian martial arts world and I must say it has has it's share of "to the death boxing matches". Growing up in asia, we have had our share of nonregulated matches where contestant signed papers which declared their fight to the death. So it is no surprise that in this movie such a scene would occur. Not having TV at that time, the thrill of hearing such a match from radio (I remember my first Ali match and it was also on Radio, not TV) I can sympathise for the director's broad representation of history.

On the whole, when Ip Man told his disciple Leung, that he wasn't trying to teach him how to fight but to teach him the values of "martial morals", reminded me of my martial arts training under my master. Movies reflect life and in this moment of the film, I totally understood what the movie was going to.

I can only say, seek the truth and not be blinded by what is presented.
