Yip Man's resistance against invading foreigners, along with his romantic relations while under the tutelage of three Wing Chun masters.
Leave your thoughts about The Legend Is Born: Ip Man.
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonCan the most currently popular martial arts series survive without Donnie Yen, the most popular action star in Asia? Absolutely. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenIMDB lists the title of the film as "Ip Man Zero," an obvious nod to its coming before parts one and two, but unfortunately, it's also an inadvertent comment on what this particular film has to offer. |
| Honolulu Star-AdvertiserBurl BurlingameThere is nothing in this bubbling soap opera of a plot that can't be solved with drawn-out fight scenes. And so they jump and kick, poke, slap and twirl for half the film. |
| User Reviewavengers ithis prequel of ip man is really good and well told |
| User ReviewRjjrh Ygreat film and exiting just like all other ones |
| User ReviewAlex WInteresting movie! It's not only Kung fu and fighting! |
| User ReviewTedrico LKILLER WUXIA WIRED KUNG-FU CHOREOGRAPHY & SHINOBI SWORDPLAY! A PLEASANT MIXTURE OF POLITICS, ROMANCE, & CUTTING EDGE KUNG FU! 1920'S ERA CHINA PERFECTLY ILLUSTRATED UNDER HERMAN YAU'S SUPERIOR DIRECTION! With a run time of only 100 minutes, at first I was stunned to see Sammo Hung Kam-Bo playing Chan Wah Shun, Yip Man's master, because he died in IP Man 2. But, ... as one who often watches prequels and sequels alike, I opened my mind up and quickly got passed this, as Sammo's appearance is brief, and relatively unimportant in the large scope of the movie's sole plot ... to illustrate the growth of Yip Man from a promising young pupil into an unstoppable force. I appreciate the inclusion of competition between Cheung Wing Shing (Huang Yi) and Li Mei Wai (Rose Chan) who both are in love with Yip Man, all while his brother Yip Tin Chi (played by iu-Wong Fan) desperately tries to match make Cheung Wing Shing with Yip Man, so that perhaps, his fellow pupil, Li Mei Wai will finally acknowledge and welcome his undying love for her. This story's antagonist is not a mere single individual, as in all 3 trilogy films, but instead political corruption ... which later threatens his temple, his friends and his honor, forcing Yip Man (played by Yu-Hang To) to single handedly fight off a swarm of Japanese Shinobi in what yields, ONE HELLUVA ULTIMATE MARTIAL ARTS SHOWDOWN! This film rates 5 stars just like the IP Man trilogy does! |
| User ReviewAndid SAmazing film number one is still the best |
| User ReviewHoyee LThis movie was excellent. The thing I didn't realize was that Ip Man had an adopted brother, Tai Chi, who at the end turn on his brother and the wing chub school where they trained. |
| User ReviewTimothy PA very well put together movie filled with lots of action and Kung fu. One of the biggest accomplishments was how ip man is shown to still be gentle and noble no matter what |
