On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give IP Man 3 an 9.0 What a terrific way to end an extraordinary series. IP Man 3 will forever be a masterpiece cult classic and a legend within itself. This is something special to me that I tend to re-watch over and over, again and again.Ĭonsidering the characters, the styles, the camera work, the stunts & fighting choreography, the special guest appearances, the heart-throb crisis with IP Man/Cheung Wing Sing It was truly awesome and something to see if you enjoyed the best of martial arts fighting Yet once again, I was left saying ' Wow'. The speed, the pace, the adrenaline of the IP Man/Cheung Tin-Chi fight brought high and low blocking, striking, twisting, kicking, joint locking, elusiveness, stances to combined with the lighting and sound effects and rolling camera shots all working so well that became jaw-dropping inspirational and to behold. which also the famous Bruce Lee one-inch strike included. And it was crystal clear, clean and very easy and enjoyable to view, none of the shaky-jumpy camera we tend to see in too many action fighting scenes, And it involved several ways of fighting and engaging - from fighting pole stick. We could see the final Wing Chun battle predictably coming, but the cinematography and choreography that was applied and involved was simply breath taking. You don't generally get something like that in a martial arts action film not anything I have seen/felt since (probably since Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon) And again an even another good music score spot for that memorable moment. The sign-off memorial and passing of Cheung Wing Sing at the end was heart-breaking and touching. Even seeing IP Man breaking down, these heart gripping, emotional moments brought some of the most moving moments. We saw how emotionally torn she was between the dangers her husband has to endure, the safety of their son, the enjoyable moments the couple continue to put together, and sudden crisis they have to fight and cope with the deadly disease once it was discovered. vs wing chun) than the other IP man films, and it also featured a very well put together love/crisis moments between I Man and his beloved terminally ill wife Cheung Wing Sing. I thought IP man 3 was a more well-paced, added more intriguing various fighting styles (vs boxing. I never would have thought I would have had the joy and pleasure of seeing him in this film. Of course Tyson's acting role is pretty simple and I didn't expect anything different than the villainous smirk and hulking punches- I got exactly what I wanted from him which also includes the idea of involving him into the I man film.

Mike Tyson scenes were enjoyable, not only because I am such a strong fan of him, but seeing his famed powerful style of fighting ,stance/crouching bobbing & weaving being engaged with Wing Chun fighting was a sight to see, with IP Man able to imploy kicking, grappling and eye-gauging attacks to yet another highly powerful and skilled American style boxer in such a very brief time. Another one of those scenes that made me feel like ' Wow' It even featured a brief cameo young teen portrayal of late martial arts icon Bruce Lee ( portrayed by actor Kwon-Kwan Chan)īoth the music background score and Camera work was simply brilliant - even in one top fight scene with the Thai boxer, you get to see the fight from a birds' eye view, while that inspirational musical background score played on. The plot of fighting to save a school vs opposing foreign bullies and gangs was simple, and it once again featured IP Man singlehandedly overpowering an entire group of vicious hoodlums (in shipyard) as was also featured in the previous IP Man films, but that isn't close to highlighting the tale of the tape with IP Man 3. While the first focused on the introduction of IP man, his loving wife Cheung Wing Sing ( portrayed Lynn Hung) his extraordinary Wing Chun skills, his students, the foreign Japanese suppression and the 2nd IP man film focused on opposing martial schools, gangs and a different foreign suppression, this 3rd IP Man features a legendary boxing icon, (Tyson) bouts with Tai boxing and an exciting Wing Chun vs Wing Chun (featuring Zhang Jin) finale that was simply awesome.

In fact I think they saved the very last for the very best and director Wilson Yip and Yen combined to make IP Man 3 the very best of the series. I have vastly enjoyed all of Donnie Yen's version of IP Man - and the 3rd and final installment is no exception.
