Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times IMDB 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. Rated: 2/5 Oct 27, 2011 Full Review G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle Can the most currently popular martial arts series survive without Donnie Yen, the most popular action star in Asia? Absolutely. Rated: 3/4 Oct 27, 2011 Full Review Maggie Lee Hollywood Reporter Rigorous, authentic fighting by physically formidable newcomer Dennis To and a stellar supporting cast. Sep 30, 2010 Full Review Burl Burlingame Honolulu Star-Advertiser There 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. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 6, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

carlos t Minha opinião: Existem vários filmes com o nome de IP MAN oque seguimos como a matriz e com o ator Donnie Yen, que esta em 4 filmes. Este filme é independente dos outros. Aqui a estoria conta quando Ip ainda é solteiro e é um estudante. Quando criança ele ganha um irmão adotivo e assim crescem na escola de #Wingchun Seu pai é o mestre Sammo. Mas ele vem a falecer. Ip vai estudar é quando ele conhece o irmão de seu mestre e aprende novas técnicas de Wing Chun. Tipo utilizar as pernas e outras técnicas. Assim ele retorna para sua escola e é um momento que o japoneses estão tendo domínio sobre a China. E para mostrar supremacia do karate sobre as outras artes, eles vão desafiando mestres e até comprando. Ip se apaixona pela filha do prefeito. E em uma emboscada Ip é acusado de ter matado o presidente do comercio local, para salva-lo a Huang diz que estava com Ip. Seu meio irmão se aliança com os japoneses. E nesse momento final existe o confroto final deles com Ip e tem um ninja no meio que ele vem a descobrir que o assassino e também seu meio irmão. E descobre que na verdade ele não era chinês e sim japonês. Um filme onde o enredo já é bem conhecido de vários filmes feitos. Mas com boas coreografias de lutas. Uma curiosidade que tem a participação de Ip Chun que é o filho mais velho de Ip Man no filme. O jovem To Yu lembra um pouco Donnie Yen. Roteiro e enredo já bem conhecido de quem sempre assiste os filmes de Kung-fu. Mas esta bem elaborado e realizado. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 8 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This martial arts movie was really good. Dennis To, Siu-Wong Fan, Yi Huang, Rose Chan, Sammo Hung, Ip Chun, and the rest of the cast did an excellent job in this movie. This true story about the early days of legendary Wing Chun master Ip Man was dramatic, intense, and entertaining. The fight scenes were very cool and well choreographed. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. Even though it's a foreign film, it's worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Liam D It may be not the best Ip Man film but it has decent writing, good acting and fun action to make this Drama a fun watch Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/21 Full Review Audience Member The screenplay is not interesting and weak plot. Action fights are great. If you have already seen Donnie Yen version of Ip Man, then this version is an average one. The movie will leave little impact on you when it's over. Yip Man's resistance against invading foreigners, along with his romantic relations while under the tutelage of three Wing Chun masters. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member it was a decent film shows some backstorie just felt it moved a bit slow Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member this prequel of ip man is really good and well told Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
