I am a sucker for Wing Chun Kung Fu, I practice it myself - you can say I am a Wing Chunkie ;D But this one... this one is trash. It's not even anywhere near the first 3 movies - thumb's down. The fight scenes are totally overexaggerated (cleary the were some wires involved) and not only that, they are speeded up & the camera is too close so you nearly can see $#!+. The exploitation of the name "Ip Man" has to STOP! He doesn't deserve this. http://trakt.tv/user/BenFranklin/lists/wing-chun-kungfu

With the heavy handed cinematography and ceaselessly drawling expository, The Grandmaster has some stylish moments but is otherwise tiresome.

A romanticized biopic of the kung fu master known for training Bruce Lee. The showy showdown in the rain during the opening minutes might mislead you, but the film largely adheres to the stylistic elements of Wong Kar-Wai's festival films, delivering languid romanticism, vintage nostalgia, and platonic love amidst the backdrop of the Sino-Japanese war and the dawn of the age of martial arts masters, with the same kind of lyricism you would expect from Sergio Leone. I found the first part with the three minibosses a bit superfluous; everything could have easily been condensed into a brisk ninety minutes without missing anything. In addition, the reflective phases felt fragmented, with Wong’s stylistic mannerism not always able to compensate for the lackluster plot and action sequences. There are some decent fights sprinkled throughout, but the director's trademark choppy slow-motion often feels out of place and detrimental to fruition. To avoid if you just wanted a kung fu movie, and not even a must-see for Wong Kar-Wai’s fans either.

>"The martial arts should be open to all, everyone should walk the same route. It all comes down to two words: Horizontal, Vertical." This felt like a traditional Chinese martial arts movie with great cinematography. The fight scenes felt more artistic than action, but still pretty to look at. Although after watching Donnie Yen's Ip Man movies, other similar stories just feel a little less exciting.

Let's get this out of the way. **The Grandmaster** isn't about Ip Man, the grandmaster who allegedly trained Bruce Lee. It isn't a martial arts action film. It has far less action than even **Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon**, a film most martial arts fans dismiss as being too artsy. If m More

I'm a fan of Wong Kar-Wai's films but I reckon that I still prefer Wilson Yip's 2008 version of the Ip Man story. Set amidst the turbulent times in China that saw the end of the rule of Manchu dynasty, the embryonic republic established and then the Japanese invasion, we meet a man (Tony Leung) who More
