• IP MAN 2 : Review

    Just came back from IP MAN 2.

    Had hard time to get tickets for GSC and TGV as all tickets were almost sold out or left the front row seat but luckily I managed to get tickets at Mega Cineplex Cinema near my house.

    Well, the long waited movie has arrived and from the impressive 1st episode, everyone is keen to watch the squeal of the 1st movie.

    Actually I’m impressed on how they maintain the balance of the movie. The correct amount of fighting scene and the talking scene. So you won’t go like “Argh!! I need more fights!!” or “Argh!!! It’s all just fighting, nothing else”

    But they include much humor in this series. And it is more touching compare to the 1st series.So you’ll probably laugh more.

    And if those expect the amount of Donnie fighting scene will increase, I tell you that it’s a no. During the 1st series, it has 4 fighting scene. 1st is inside his house with a master, 2nd is with a guy who comes and challenges him, 3rd is with 10 Japanese and last is with the Japanese General.

    Ip Man 2 has the same amount of Donnie fighting scene as well (total of 4) BUT they include extra fighting scene which involved Sammu Hung and the enermy. So all together will be 5 fighting scenes in this one and half hours movie.

    Overall, it’s a very entertaining movie. And don’t worry, if you miss out the 1st series, you’ll still able to get the whole story of Ip Man 2 because it doesn’t really carry the whole story from the 1st one to this one.

    So overall, the story line is pretty much the same like the 1st movie. He fights for the spirit of China martial art and bla bla. Something happened and he inspired to fight. Maybe I’d say it’s the same. It’s just same car with same engine but different outlook. So it is as entertaining as the previous one.

    I’m not going to review any more of it because you judge it yourself when you watch the movie.
    I’d give it a 4.5/5 rating for it.

    In different note, the cinema staffs know that Ip Man 2 will only attracts Chinese audience mostly, so they come out with this brilliant idea of promoting their movie.

    Master of Bruce Lee yo!!!!

    Tomorrow I’ll be watching Iron Man 2 but I doubt I’ll be able to write a review for it because right after the movie I’ll be off to Langkawi for the weekend. But I believe it will be good too as well :)

    p/s : Do you know that Asia will be 1st to show all the new movie in cinema? Know why? Because if they show in USA or UK 1st, then they don’t need to do business in Asia already because pirated DVD will come fast into Asian market before the cinema start showing. So yea, thanks to that, we’re able to watch it 1st in cinema!
