Ip Man 2008 - 5 stars out of 5 stars

After reviewing Ip man 2 on this blog,I said it warranted looking up the original as they are usually better,understatement !!!! Forget the fact its based on real occurrences or Bruce lee trained under this man,no,it stands firm on its own merits.Honor,respect,war and relationships as well as a few laughs early on before the darkness of wartime Japanese occupation sets in.The actors are well schooled in the arts and the story is fine morality tale,what more could you ask for??Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.If you like this genre,than its a "bucket list"movie for you.

A semi-biographical account of Yip Man, the first martial arts master to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun.
