Ip Man 3

Good movie

It is weird that they included Mike Tyson in this film but I don't have anything against it. Mike was great in it in the choreography was great as well. Not to mention it ended very soberly and if anything considering the circumstances with the fourth thumb I'm willing to accept this film as the last considering how needless the fourth film really was.

Just some quick backstoryI absolutely LOVED the First 'Ip Man' film, it easily became my favorite martial arts film of all time,it was a genera defying work with not just great action, but a well portrayed story too!As for 'Ip Man 2' While they stepped up the action, it felt kind of like the second matrix movie,Focusing way to much on visuals and action.And while it was still way more entertaining then the second matrix film, and had great action, I still felt it did not live up to the first in any other acpect.Now for the review!Now we come to the third film in the Donnie Yen Ip Man Trilogy, It has a much stronger story then the second, with multiple simultaneous plot lines,Yet offers good pacing, and some fights that rival, and even surpass some from the second AND first films!However there are some odd choices in direction, and it seems like some content is not needed, it's still overall a great film.While I'm not ready to say it's better then the first, it's still fairly close, and even though mike Tyson seems like an odd choice, they make it work,And by the end you'll understand why he was chosen.All-in-all, it's a great film that handles plot much better then many other martial arts movies, and if you liked the first or second Ip Man, you'll love this!While you can watch this movie on it's own, and it's not technically 100% dependent on the others,you should at least watch the first film before watching this.

Not as good or memorable as the first two, but still great. Donnie Yen nails it as master Ip! I don't know what it is but he just such a likable character in these films. While the action is very well filmed, what really makes this movie good is the story. It has a lot of heart to it and teaches some great lessons about holding on to your morals even when you are living in such a corrupt world(which is something I think more movies should teach). It focuses less on action and more on characters, which is done very well here. Don't get me wrong though, The action scenes are still done very good here and are great to watch. It also had this great fight between Ip man and an underground crime boss played by Mike Tyson!!! That alone makes the movie worth watching for some people. Overall, if you like a good martial arts movie with a lot a heart and soul to it and with a good story that focuses on characters as opposed to just action, then this movie is definitely worth checking out. Also you don't really have to have seen the previous two movies to know what is happening in this one, but it does help.

The Ip Franchise provides outstanding action. The martial arts are among the best I have ever seen. I liked all three movies.

We really enjoyed watching the first 2 installments of IP Man, and were not disappointed with IP Man 3.Same good storytelling, and the action sequences were what you would expect. We were really impressed with how well done his wife, and the character challenging him as the grand master of Wing Chun were portrayed. In fact, those two characters almost took over the story.Although the choice of Mike Tyson to play the character trying to take over the school was . . . interesting; it didn't really work for us. We had already seen IP Man take on a boxer in IP Man 2 . . . so what was the real intent behind having Mike Tyson play that character? It doesn't really detract from the story at all . . . we all just wondered if there could have been a better choice for actor who had a different fighting/grappling style (jiu jitsu, or judo, or something like that would be fun).Bottom line; if you like IP Man 1 and 2 . . . you will not be disappointed with IP Man 3.

This movie is excellent, a great addition to the Ip Man series, and one I will surely watch many more times in the future. Just like the first two movies in the series, there is an abundance of action-packed, well-choreographed fight scenes placed throughout the movie. Whether Ip Man is fighting one-on-one, or challenging a group of fighters at the same time, the action never slows down and you can feel the impact of the punches and kicks, which is something many other fighting movies fail to deliver consistently. Compared with the first two movies in the series, this movie fell somewhere in the middle. There was more of an emotional aspect like in the first movie, with more of an economically and nationally diverse setting as in the second movie. All of these factors combine to create a movie that at one moment will keep you at the edge of your seat during fight scenes, and perhaps even reaching for a tissue during the more emotional moments. This is a solid entry in the Ip Man series, be sure to add this one to your collection.

What a great movie
