good back-story, and good acting
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
High-budget and high-quality. Ip Man is really a unique kung fu movie with excellent sequels. The fight scenes were incredible and built onto the story nicely. Southern kung fu styles like Wing Chun (less acrobatic/less kicking and more short-range than Northern Shaolin styles) are rarely shown in movies, so it was great to see a different type of kung fu on-screen. Donnie Yen is a top actor/martial artist and perfect as Ip Man. It was fast paced and somewhat set out in story arcs (the sequels are entirely laid out in story arcs, with one overarching arc). Soundtrack was also good. Can't really fault the movie, so 10 stars. Highly recommend.
Ip Man was empowering, entertaining, epic, and heartfelt. Master Ip portrayed a humble man whose affluence did not ruin his kind character. A family man, Ip impressed me with his desire to fight for his country, referring to himself as a simple "Chinese man" when asked his name by the Japanese general. He was also steadfast in the fight for his family, including his wife and son, but also including all of the Chinese people. Master Ip never raised a fist except in defense and responded to insults with calm confidence and poise. Ip Man impressed me with his peaceful demeanor in spite of terrifying circumstances such as war, violence, and carnage. He showed the beauty of family while inspiring viewers with a passion to fight for what you know to be good, true, and beautiful. He was careful to respect all men, never taking his anger out on others, in true Confucian spirit, but rather asserting his opinion in a dignified and mature manner. Ip Man serves as a role model for young adults, in being neither passive nor over-aggressive in arguments, but instead maintaining a necessary assertiveness in every encounter. Ip Man's humility continued when he taught the Chinese people Kung Fu so that they would be strong in the fight against Japanese soldiers and Chinese gangs. His selflessness and passion are honorable. I find Ip Man's role believable and something to reach for in my own life. Which of Ip Man's characteristics did you find most honorable? The target audience for this film is young adults who are looking for inspiration and parents who wish to teach their children about a man who fought for the good of his people. His acting was up to par, allowing this movie to be displayed in a skillful, yet modest way. The story was told in such a captivating and compelling way that I was on the edge of my seat, cheering for Ip Man to win! The movie locked me in from the start, making me feel as though I was at the scene of action, feeling the weight of the oppression overshadowing the Chinese people. Yet, the story was still simple, focusing on a small town man with a big heart. In this movie, Ip Man's actions speak very loudly because of his down-to-earth personality and calm character. The resolution of the movie was successful in bringing hope to viewers by explaining Ip Man's mission in spreading the art of Kung Fu all across China. Ip Man encouraged me to be fearless in my pursuit of the good, even to the point of injury, poverty, and death. This movie inspires me to branch out, take action, and fight for the truth using my talents, in my case, music to unite people together for the sake of beauty, truth, hope, kindness and goodness. This movie is a key example of inspiration, focusing on themes such as bringing hope in the midst of terrible circumstances and defense for the ones we love, since we are all God's beautiful children. If watching this movie with a younger audience, it is important to discuss the themes and plot of the film. This enables viewers to focus on the positives of the story, rather than the desolation and hopelessness that the people felt in the story. Ip Man is an example of a movie that is not a waste of time. It is not a movie used to take time that could be spent more productively. The movie accurately portrayed the terror of evil while being sure to glorify the good. The villains in the story caused viewers to cringe at their violent and abusive actions, they who devalued the character of men and women in China. Viewers were horrified at their cruel, harsh, and terrible behavior. Meanwhile, Ip Man's upstanding character is valued, making him the hero of the China! What do you think is the most important theme of Ip Man? Why was Ip Man such an attractive character? Can anyone relate to what Ip Man had to accomplish? This movie gave me a greater appreciation for the art of Kung Fu. Who else was inspired to take action for the people we love the most? So, in conclusion -Ip Man is successful in fostering community and showcasing the importance of defending ourselves, our family, and our country. Don't you think defending our loved ones is one of the most important goals of all? -The character Ip Man is an exemplar of virtue, especially in humility. Why do we love Ip Man? -This movie encourages selflessness and hope even in the midst of tribulation. He teaches us how to suffer for the sake of good. Has anyone here experienced suffering for the sake of the good? PS There are three more Ip Man movies but remember that it is important to take a break for special time with family and friends, even taking the time to discuss the plot of the movie. It is important to balance our time with movies so that we can take some time in the real world and also be able to contemplate the themes of the storyline. I recommend this movie to all those who are searching for an inspirational, hope-filled and fun movie for young adults and adults.
The story telling set in China, gives the viewer a Glimpse of Chinese Culture and Kung Fu a Nostalgic trip along the streets of China. Spine tingling with the appearance of the Young Bruce Lee, makes a Martial Arts fan sigh. An educational film for Martial Arts practitioners, and Actors. The film is Enigmatic.
Ip Man (2010) is an exhilarating martial arts film that also has a great deal of emotional depth. Many martial arts movies are typically regarded as over-the-top and cheesy. Most of the acting is hilariously bad, the plot is stupid and the action is usually the only thing driving it. This is not the case with 'Ip Man'. While it can be over-the-top when it comes to some of the more dramatic scenes, everything else is remarkable. Great acting, an interesting plot, but above all else: extraordinary action. The choreography is unbelievably good. Not to mention how enthralling the fight scenes truly are. They kept me on the edge of my seat. I was amped up to say the least. Also, the action scenes had a purpose in relation to the plot. By the time the end credits were rolling, I had to pull myself out of the world I was locked into. This movie is completely investing, truly entertaining, and is the pinnacle of what a good martial arts movie should be. Go check it out if you consider yourself a fan of martial arts movies (or good action movies for that matter).
