If you are a kung fu nut, go ahead. Otherwise, skp this junk
Riding on the coat tail of the successful Ip Man series, Ip Man 3 is your typical " Slap-Ip-Man-on-the-title-and-we-can-all-make-buckets-of-money" sort of film.
I won't be surprised if the overall plot was hashed together over a nice lunch by some studio heads, script written in 2 days and the whole movie shot in less than 20 days. The movie has no resemblance to its predecessors. You want cliche? This movie got them all.
I love Ip Man 1. I like Ip Man 2. I almost tossed Ip Man 3 into the trash after the first 10 minutes.
If you are a completest or a kung fun nut, go ahead and spend the money. If you actually want something concrete for your hard earned money and precious time, watch Ip Man 1 or 2 again.
