Ip Man (2008) - 7/10

In terms of technical stuff, like camerawork, fight choreography, music, special effects and direction, it was fantastic. Donnie Yen put in a great performance as the lead, and I liked most of the characters. I did feel as if it may have worked better as a full on biography of Ip Man, instead of an action film, as the text interludes felt very out of place. Also, having the main character be a super powerful badass made fearing for him in the fight scenes very hard. The film was also quite cliche. The story, while not groundbreaking, was adequate for the film, and overall I thought it was very good.
