Nowhere near as good as the first movie, starring Donnie Yen, but definitely a fun Kung Fu flick. The line between reality and fiction really gets stretched in this one and it doesn't have the wonderful emotional content of the first. It will be interesting to see what happens with other adaptations of Grandmaster Ip Man's life or if there's a third installment featuring Yen (who is prefect, frankly).
There seem to be quite a few copies around that have extremely poorly translated subtitles. It's worth the effort (or a patience) to try to find a version with good ones. Alternatively, you could learn Chinese...!
Sammo Hung, who plays Hung Jan Nam, is fantastic as ever, too.
Still, worth a watch. One thumb up and a Pass.
