Leave your thoughts about Ip Man 3.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThough it may not feel as profound as the first two entries, Ip Man 3 is ultimately more watchable and more purely entertaining. |
| OregonianMarc MohanGenre fans won't be disappointed, but "Ip Man 3" won't have much crossover appeal. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle Fetters[Yen's] performance is glorious, the actor embodying this martial arts legend with grace, dignity, passion and charisma to burn. |
| Salt Lake City WeeklyScott RenshawIt's kind of a shame that this series feels so determined to stick to the facts of real-life kung fu grandmaster Ip Man (Donnie Yen), because it's a lot more fun when it's a good old-fashioned martial-arts free-for-all. |
| VarietyMaggie LeeLess offensively nationalistic than the second installment but falling short of the glowing humanity, genial Cantonese humor and visual flair of the first, the pic is somewhat tarnished by its pedestrian plot and limp characterization. |
| Examiner.comChris SawinDonnie Yen continues to showcase why he's the best action star working today. If this is the last we see of Donnie Yen's Ip Man, then Ip Man 3 is a gloriously rewarding way to send off the character. |
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonIp Man 3 also sneaks in welcome moments of mushy romantic sweetness between Master Ip and his wife, Cheung Wing-sing (Lynn Hung). |
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoIp Man 3's best scene has nothing to do with martial arts. |
| Globe and MailNathan RabinThe plot of the film is pretty silly, but it functions largely as a fight-delivery system, and on that level it's relatively successful. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyYen is appropriately soulful as the aging Ip - while Tyson is just terrible, and thus fascinating to watch. |
