Ip Man 3

The movie’s a period piece, set in 1959, and mixes real facts about Ip’s life and 1950s Hong Kong with the kind of elaborate fight sequences that kung fu fans expect.

It’s fast and furious, with streaks of broad comedy and sentimentality...

Both Ip Man’s fight scene with a prominent American sports legend and the film’s most melodramatic plot development conjure up memories of Lee’s “Game of Death”.

...the real reason to see the Ip Man movies remains Yen, who's still finding a certain magnetism, even emotional resonance, in a performance that's just this side of blank.

...legendary Hong Kong director/action choreographer Yuen Woo-ping takes over from Sammo Hung, who did the honors in the first two Ip Man films, and Yuen’s presence can immediately be felt in the film’s first set piece..
