rock123 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Posted December 20, 2019 Love the fight scenes. Watch it at Shaw. Great SQ and PQ. There is 1 scene I cried lol... When the "Karate" guy lost, rely felt like standing up wild applause for IP man :) Enjoy it guys :)
Guest comfortablynumb Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 I find IPman too much reliance on nationalistic melodrama always Chinese against angmos Prefer him to fight with fellow kungfu opponents
rock123 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Posted December 20, 2019 I find IPman too much reliance on nationalistic melodrama always Chinese against angmos Prefer him to fight with fellow kungfu opponents The real exciting fight will be between IP Man with his fellow kungfu opponents :) Climax for me will be Taichi vs Wing Chun Somehow sad thing is that mostly are not his level.....
DJQ Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 err own fellow chinese kungfu opponents beaten... in the 1st few series. nobody else to fight le.
pschia Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Should have a fight scene with a MMA fighter and see if Wing Chun or MMA is better. ;)
desray Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 This is the final chapter for Ip Man...I think the story line is fine and befitting a good closure for the whole series. However, I find the fight scenes a little weaker (guess Ip Man getting older) compared to the previous 3 instalments.
Horchai Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 I remember in one or the ipman series he fought with sammo hung on a revolving dinner table. Quite nice! Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
westendboy Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 This is how you make the last movie of a franchise. Not that Rise of Skywalker bullsh1t. Ip Man 4 can be cloying but it knows when to rein that back in with some superbly choreographed fight scenes. Damn rousing and I can’t believe I tear up in a kungfu movie. 3.5/5

In one of the junket interviews, Donny Yen revealed that Ip Man 4 will be his “last” martial art flick. But he will still do action though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

rock123 Posted December 22, 2019 Author Posted December 22, 2019 Human natural feeling :'(when one going to lose his love ones...
ronildoq Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I find IPman too much reliance on nationalistic melodrama always Chinese against angmos Prefer him to fight with fellow kungfu opponents just watched it, i echo your sentiments. Exact same feeling. didn't quite like the storyline on this one. too much of a chinese vs angmoh stuff. I like the first one best, thats my fav, the one on Japanese occupation But sound mastering is very good, done at MBS studio HK. I love how the mastering is done, so much improvement over the previous 3 installments. very nice micro details especially in china town, good vocals too. Also confirmed that Shaw Punggol is the best so far, the bass is tight, fast and much more pleasing compared to the rest of the cinemas in singapore. Best watch it at Shaw Punggol for these type of movies 7/10 for me, mainly because of Donnie Yen + sound mastering Definitely need to load in Bass EQ for this one when i get the Bluray, worth getting the bluray.

Doggie Howser Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Watched it the other night. Spoilers follow. Be warned. I thought I might have missed an installment but going over the synopsis of the earlier 3, it looks like I had watched all of them. I just wasn’t aware there were so many other Ip Man movies different from this franchise. Those I missed. I didn’t think it was a better movie than Rise of Skywalker. Skywalker is flawed but it felt more coherent as a story. Ip Man felt like it was very contrived circumstances to create a conflict. Like it was one of Bruce Lee’s student who was an INS agent and the girl who tried to bully the Chinese girl was the daughter of said INS agent’s boss. And that stench of pro Chinese against all Westerners vibe from the Chinese backers was just too overpowering, I couldn’t get myself to rally behind the heroes for the most part. The villains were all caricatures and one dimensional stereotypes. I’m all for a realistic portrayal of racial discrimination but this was beyond preachy. The only one I could get behind was ip Man. But maybe that’s all that was needed.
