    Ip Man1 and 2

    I don't know if any of you have seen these films, but you are missing out on something very wonderful.

    The first film is about the master of the martial arts, who was once rich, but do to a war, chinese soldiers take over his village and he loses everything he has. To gain it back, he goes up against the colonial and his soldiers.

    In the second, he has moved to another city, where he teaches his method of martial arts to others. He begins to learn that there is more to martial arts than fighting, as there are rules in this city, as well as other Masters. He soon begins another fight, this time with the british, english, one of the the two.

    If you haven't seen these films, be sure to check them out, as they are good martial arts entertainment, without the use of all that CGI bullshit. I think that what makes the film stand out the most is the fact that it doesn't use CGI in it's fight seens, old school hand to hand combat.

    Both films are equally likeable, as the second has more humor than the first. The direction is also beautiful as they make good with the score and the choreography is well staged.

    Ip man has to be one of the best martial arts characters in the history of martial arts filmmaking. Supposedly, at least the movie says, he was Bruce Lee's master.

    Even though this is based off of a true story, I don't really think much of the stuff that happened in this film actually happened, but yet and still, it's entertainment. 9/10 for both. Might be high but I like them.

    Has anyone else seen these films, if so how do you like them. If not, be sure to check them out.

    Saw'em both ages ago. There's even a prequel out, but it's not really related to these two films aside from the fact it follows IP Man's early years. http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/...Is-Born-Ip-Man

    They mention Bruce at the credits in the first, but a cocky child Bruce shows up at the end of the 2nd movie, but doesn't really show or do much more with the character other than that

    I saw a scene from the first one, my friend made me watch it. It was pretty bad ass. I haven't gotten around to actually watching the whole movie yet.

    I have a million other movies to watch before I even get to this one. Maybe I should quit work and school and catch up? Sounds good to me..

    I've only see the first and I enjoyed it. I plan to watch IP Man 2 soon though.

    The first one is a beautiful example of a well done kung fu film. The second one I found to be 100% schlock and devoid of any artistic merit. It did have some cool punching and kicking scenes but the story, direction, and even characters were a HUGE let down from the first.

    Also, they were Japanese soldiers that invaded China...big difference and a huge point in Chinese/Japanese history

    I love IP Man. I just saw it recently. The scene where he fights ten Japanese is one of my favorites. Got to see the second one now.
