Ip Man 3

Just some quick backstory I 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.

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.

WARNING - NOT IN THE DESCRIPTION - There are no SUBTITLES with this film - which is not mentioned. It does have CC - or closed captioning for deaf people which is similar - but the problem is unless you are a speed reader it is next to impossible to read the CC when streamed onto a HDTV. Now, I watched part of the movie letterboxed widescreen on my computer with the CC and it was fine - showing up in the letterbox. However on my HDTV steamed it was 16:9 non letterboxed - filling the screen. The CCs were fast and hard to read and all over the lower part of the screen. Also, subtitles are usually at the very bottom of the screen with plenty of time to read them vs CC is about 3/4's of the way down. I got tired of trying to speed read the CCs. Also, for an action film, there is a lot of dialog. The film I'd give a 3-4 star if it had proper subtitles - not CCs. I really enjoyed the IP series 1 and 2 - so I'm a bit upset that Amazon did not make clear that this has no subtitles and or that it is not dubbed. I think there are dubbed versions of the earlier movies - I maybe wrong... but the successful movies from Asia are released in subtitles and English dubbed versions. This one - obviously - the foreign distributor did not have the time or money to export it correctly.... If you can read fast CC - go for it... or watch it on your PC in Widescreen letterbox - that's fine... otherwise just know that watching it on an HDTV might be a bit challenging. Still a great movie though.

Awesome fight choreography from Yuen Woo Ping. He always manages to come with something different. Donnie Yen is on top form as both an action hero and an actor. The 2 major fight scenes with the family business in the middle might seem slow to some people and the sometimes slapstick nature of the fight scenes with the ridiculous villain/punk are very amusing but not always to every Westerner's taste, but I though they were quite well done. Mike Tyson didn't get to do too much much but Donnie was in top form for a man in his 50s. He just keeps getting better. Oh, the Thai boxer scene, great homage to Tony Jaa's first film, though in this case they are fighting in the opposite direction. The part in the elevator was amazing too. Incredibly good fun and well worth a look or two-I replayed all the fight scenes a couple of times, they were so good. Enjoy!

I've never been a martial arts movie fan until I watched Ip Man. The story of the Grandmaster resonated pure love of family, respect of the craft, sacrifice and hard work passed down through generations. I love the grace of Wing Chun's movement and strength of commitment, it is pure magic watching. The war-torn struggle to maintain an existence during that time was inspirational. I loved how Ip Man 2 continued his incredible story between the martial arts world and his family life. There was no mistaking how fierce Mrs. Ip was in her own right. Ip Man 3 was exhilarating and heart-breaking. The fight scenes in all 3 movies were masterfully choreographed, the theme of respect for the Chinese culture shines in every movie and Donnie Yen is brilliant in his portrayal of Ip Man. I thought Lynn Hung perfectly portrayed Mrs. Ip. There is not enough space to say that every actor and crew involved with Ip Man, Ip Man 2 and Ip Man 3 deserves a 10-star rating. Pure enjoyment!

Good movie

Very entertaining third movie of a great story loosely based on Bruce Lee's teacher. !So Glad they didnt end up using cgi as rumors suggested for Bruce Lee. The story continues with more drama than action than the first two. The first movie really showcases Donnie's prime as a martial artist rivaling classics such as 'Fist of Legend', 'Drunken Master 2'. Not sure if this movie has legendary status as the first adaption but is still an excellent movie and does have a strong message. Fun fact: I remember reading that on set Mike Tyson was upset because Donnie broke his finger during their fight scene which I think is awesome. Shows me how physical they really get in these choreographed fighting sequences. Very impressive! A must for all who love the first two. BREAKDOWN : Better than the 2nd movie but not as good as the first.

Al menos a tiempo de escribir esto, en la página se indica que tiene subtítulos en inglés, lo cual es mentira. la película tiene audio en francés y mandarín y subtítulos únicamente en francés. He tardado demasiado en darme cuenta y ya no puedo devolverla, pero esto es directamente una estafa de Amazon.

In the seller info it said English Audio but the cover doesnt include English Audio

イップマン３の北米版ですが、英語音声5.1と英語字幕、広東語もしっかり入っております、この英語音声、英語字幕とも発売当初は入っていないと北米アマゾンのレビューで書かれていたようですが、メインメニューでしっかり英語音声、広東語、英語字幕の選択ができるようになっており、国内でも北米版が普通に購入できるようで、今ならアウターケースが付くかもしれませんので、イップマン好きな方は早い購入をおすすめします。 イップマン３はドニーイェン、ブルースリー役のダニーチャン、マイクタイソン、张晋(チャンジン、英名マックスチャン)と、有名俳優が出演しており、マイクタイソンとのバトルも必見ですし、チャンジンのバトルは、これが詠春拳なんだと嬉しい場面が垣間見れますよ。 エンディングにいくにつれて、イップマンの大切な人との別れの場面にも遭遇しますが、木人をたたくシーンでは悲しい思いが伝わってきます。 詠春拳、Wing Chun好きな方でなくても、アクション好きな方にもおすすめです。 英語版ではありますが、英語音声は、音声と英語字幕と全く同じではありませんので、英会話表現力が上がるので、英会話トレーニングにも適していると思います。 私は香港バージョンのチャンジンが悪役で主演しているキルゾーン２も持っておりますが、こちらもおすすめです。 ドニーイェン(カンフーのアメリカチャンピオン)も素晴らしいですが、チャンジン(中国のチャンピオン)のアクションもとても素晴らしいです。 カンフージャングル(英名カンフーキラー)も超おすすめです。こちらはドニーイェンですが、悪役のワンバオチャンのアクションもぜひ見てほしいです。

Gut gemachter Film

L'humilité si appréciée envers les acteurs asiatiques est encore présente dans ce 3ème volet, et encore plus dans le fait qu'ils ont respecté le fait de ne pas trop chercher à représenter la jeunesse du petit dragon, tout en continuant à nous garder dans le jeu (encore à la hauteur) de Donnie Yen. D'ailleurs on aimerait bien que Donnie Yen rajeunisse de 10 ans pour nous refaire une trilogie différente et aussi bonne, mais en ce qui concerne Bruce Lee il vaut mieux que tous les réalisateurs sachent que l'imitation dans cette période de films d'arts martiaux n'aura jamais son égal, et qu'il vaut mieux conserver les originaux au frais, plutôt que de chercher à combler des spectateurs qui sont nés à l'époque de la sortie de ses films, malgré que Jet Li ai bien accompli son travail d'acteur avec une autre version de la "fureur de vaincre" il y a quelques années. Cela dit en tant qu'ancien fidèle fan, j'aurais bien vu Chuck Norris à la place de Mike Tyson, non pas pour le coté acteur mais pour la coincidence cinématographique et le même sport de combat. Thank you "Donnie" !!
