Noah S. Story not super strong this time around, but straight Donnie doing his thing! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/25 Full Review Robert R These movies may get sillier and sillier with each passing installment, but that doesn't make them any less watchable. This time around, it finds Ip Man tackling the likes of none other than a Cantonese-speaking Mike Tyson. if you can believe it. Or, at least, that's what the marketing and promos might have you believe. Surprisingly, at its heart, "Ip Man 3" is not just another unabashed effort at flag-waving. Instead, this is a rather pensive and almost quiet study of a difficult -- yet, admittedly dramatized -- period within the titular figure's life story. The fights are there and spectacular, of course (and who are we to expect anything less from that of Yuen Woo-ping), but when all's said and done, the most memorable moments I'll look back on in this movie involve Ip Man and his marriage. Oddly enough, I don't know if that's necessarily what I preferred in the end. Still, I suppose I'll stick around until these things finally jump the shark.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Markus L Mike Tyson is a good fighter but a terrible actor, love Donnie Yen tho Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Frannko T Los personajes siguen teniendo esa audacia y carisma. Pero la historia es demasiado floja, se quedaron sin ideas y la escribieron al hay se va. En entregas anteriores las peleas se ven tan reales y tan bien practicadas, pero en esta se ven demasiado actuadas. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Jay W "Ip Man 3" misses some of the magic from the first two entries. The fights are still good, Ip man vs. Master Z and Ip Man vs Mike Tyson are both memorable highlights. But the script feels like they took several different ideas for an Ip man sequel and combined it into one entry. On a certain level, this feels like the natural progression of the Ip Man story. The first movie, Ip man was proving the superiority of Chinese Wing Chung kung fu to that of Japanese martial arts. In Ip Man 2, he is proving Wing Chung's superiority over western boxing. So, in the 3rd one, it makes sense for Ip Man to go up against another Wing Chung master. Master Z makes for a good rival to Ip man, the classic trope of having the hero take on some sort of dark reflection of himself. When the story focuses on this plot, the movie works. But in addition to that story, we have a few other ones to balance. We have drama with Ip man and his family life, a conflict with Mike Tyson's character Frank, Ip man's financial troubles, Master Z helping the revolution and Ip man quitting smoking. The movie does not balance all of its story beats well. The action is still good, but it lacks the impact that the previous two had. The shots feel a bit more static, and the action a little staler. Ip Man is still a good character and Donnie Yen puts in his usual great performance. The action is still better than 80% of the action scenes in Hollywood today, but by Ip man standards it falls short. The movie still gets a recommendation from me, it just falls short of the glory of the previous two. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
