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.

Another brilliant entry in one of my favourite action drama series of recent years. Yen is again nothing short of superb and provides the soul and beating heart required as well as the astonishing martial arts skills. Brilliant. I've seen 100's of martial arts based movies but this is genuinely jaw dropping in terms of the remarkable fight choreography.
