IP MAN 2 ENGLISH SUB SOLARMOVIE MOVIE
All in all, this has been a fun movie to watch, and I hope the prequel will be as fun, if not more mature in its storytelling. New in Hong Kong, martial arts instructor Ip Man perseveres and retaliates against his rivals opposition to the Wing Chun fighting style he teaches. There's no denying the populist appeal of this method considering the main target market. It's a lazy writing that may excite a certain segment in the Chinese market, but in my eyes this serves only to bring down the movie to B-grade martial art flicks of bygone era. My biggest disappointment has to do with the blatant stereotype and one-dimensional characterization of the British colonists and the Twister character. Sammo Hung has delivered yet another amazing feat with choreographing this movie, despite his declining health during production. In Ip Man's old life, he'd often send Wong to successfully answer challenges. One of his first pupils was loosely based on a real-life counterpart, the late Master Wong Shung Leung. It is interesting to note that little is mentioned about his sibling and extended family who helped him in some capacity during this difficult period of time. And like the first movie, Ip Man 2 takes liberty with many facts and plot to condense the essence of Ip Man's characters and what he stood for. No doubt this is a marketing ploy to make sure the movie would not upset the powers-that-be in China. A fact that was obscured by making the character look like he's escaping the Japanese Army instead. In terms of plot, Ip Man 2 transitions nicely from the first movie, where we get to follow Ip Man as he establishes and propagates Wing Chun in Hong Kong after escaping Communist persecution in 1949. A friend and I were wondering though if it'd be more accurate to present Preying Mantis, Taiji and Choy Li Fut in the mix as these styles are well established in Hong Kong. A semi-biographical account of Yip Man, the first martial arts master to teach the Chinese. New in Hong Kong, martial arts instructor Ip Man perseveres and retaliates against his rivals' opposition to the Wing Chun fighting style he teaches.

It was good to see some cool style vs style fights though, as we get to see Animal Style, Baguazhang and Hung Gar vs. Home Movies English Movies IP Man Full Movie Online. Looking back at the first movie, all of the best action sequences were much more grounded in realistic portrayal, as the Wing Chun style looks good in this manner. The battle between the masters for example, was inventive but a bit on the fantastical side. However, it is unfortunate that some of the action scenes rely too much on wire-works. It is a befitting sequel that is almost on par with the first movie. Ip Man 2 contains top-notch action sequences from the beginning to the end.
