葉問 :: Ip Man

First post of 2009!! Happy New Year.

葉問 (Ip Man) ★★★★★ (5/5)


None of those LeBron hang times.
None of those "if I can acrobat like that I might as well fly" thingies.
None of those you're slow-mo but I'm Bolt bull.
None of those Kobe gay moments.
None of those Jackie stunts.


It's just real martial arts, as real as it gets, presented in the most perfect way possible in a dramatic scene. Donnie "I'm on Steroids" Yen is one helluva fighter and Ip Man is probably his best work to date. Something about the small basics of martial arts that reflect big results at Fo Shan during the invasion of the Japanese.


For those that are not familiar, Ip Man is Bruce Lee's Master and the movie is a portrayal of part of his life.
