Now, the negative. It is rather slow. Also, it's not so much about Yip Man as it is about the people surrounding him. Don't expect to get to know much more about him that hasn't been depicted before in other films about his life. And finally, it saddens me to see so much wuxia (wire work stunts). It wasn't needed, unless you're a ten year old boy, which this film is definitely not for.
Fun cameo by Cung Le.
But, none of those critiques should stop you from seeing this masterpiece. Gorgeous and a must see.
