Ip Man: Kung Fu Master

Having seen pretty much every Ip Man movie there is, when I saw a new one was out I simply had to run to and give it a watch even when the Wong Kar-wai’s movie was a bit of a disappointment and the fourth one in the Donnie Yen series was atrocious in so many levels. In…

I couldn’t believe that this poorly edited, badly translated, incomprehensible mess of a film with mediocre martial arts was so highly regarded. Turns out it isn’t, I’m just a dumbass who got tricked into buying the wrong film and didn’t realise until about an hour in that…

Fu for Thought

Like a musical composition that crescendos too early, Ip Man: The Kung Fu Master releases all of its steam within its first ten minutes. The first fight scene is one that most martial arts or action films would take care to leave for their third act conclusions: Ip Man…

Lahmer Teil oder eher Ableger der berühmten Ip Man-Reihe. Ohne Superstar Donnie Yen, meistens ohne Inspiration aber mit meist großer Schnittanzahl in den Kung Fu Szenen, die zudem zu selten sind und absolut lachhaften Dialogen. Es gibt so gerade noch 2 Sterne für 1-2…
