YouTube Movie Reviews: IP Man (2008)

There is so much I like about this movie. It has very well-choreographed fight scenes accompanied by some fine camera work. This movie does a great job balancing its engaging story and its tense, nail-biting action. To top it all off, the overall message of this narrative isn’t overbearing nor preachy.

I recommend this movie to anyone. There is violence, but the story woven around it should satisfy most audiences. I suggest watching it n the original Cantonese with subtitles because I feel that a lot of the emotion and tension is lost in the dubbing.

You can watch this movie and the two that follow on YouTube for free!

  1. awkwardasianfemale – I am the first generation Asian and live in the Midwest – yes, that means there is only a handful of us here. My parents moved to Ohio later in the life and therefore their English was not very good. I grew up speaking Cantonese and English at school so you can say English is my second language. What you do not know scares you – my parents did not know how society work here in the US, which inevitably means I am pretty sheltered growing up. I basically had to learn everything the hard way and self discovery was an interesting journey. I know its cliché, but what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. I got my PhD in Engineering but my training was in toxicology and cell biology so that sentence screams awkward and identity crisis. I have a husband that we are working really hard to grow together and to understand each other and we have 3 children (is the world playing a joke on me? We had the hardest time trying to get ONE child and then we now have three. Not complaining but three is a lot and they are back to back (18 months apart). Bottom Line: Awkward: Asian in midwest, sheltered life, did not know much about American culture even though I was born here, aging parents that sacrificed everything for me, PhD, engineering/biology brain, mother of three and not very motherly, ……. the list goes on. Ask: Please help me with life

  2. Fantastic review, and I agree with your points. If I may add, this movie (and the second one) will make you want to read about the time period where it’s set.
