They focus on some part of the movie or some part of a comment and then attack. As any 8 year old would do :)<br />And most of these people consider at least one of the following statements to be true:<br />-You have to be a producer making better films to criticize any movie. <br />-A boxer fights better with gloves.<br />-Being able to kick is not an advantage for a boxer.<br />-Anybody who doesn't like the movie have to be a chauvinist British.<br />If you are one of the people that fits in one of the descriptions above, please stop reading.<br />I didn't like the movie. I consider the first movie was watchable and entertaining even a little chauvinist with the portrayal of Japanese. I completely agree with Will. The movie isn't connected with reality in any way and can be considered a cheesy Chinese movie with some unrealistic martial arts in it. And I still don't know why Twister wears gloves while his opponents doesn't or why do people choose wait in line to fight with the hero while they could overcrowd him? :) Just these 2 questions can show what kind of a movie this is. <br />And if you have continued to read after the warning and still calling me or someone who thinks like me an "idiot", or thinking I should be making movies because I said the movie sucks I don't blame you. The responsibility is on your family, teachers and iq level.. :)<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-71388873821005213452016-02-07T19:30:37.944-08:002016-02-07T19:30:37.944-08:00Me too!Me too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891228784062003373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-64397088064422229022016-02-07T19:27:31.725-08:002016-02-07T19:27:31.725-08:00Nice rant lolNice rant lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891228784062003373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-24067162313990972282016-02-07T19:24:55.973-08:002016-02-07T19:24:55.973-08:00Lol (:Lol (:Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891228784062003373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-45023146732932459182016-02-07T19:24:35.435-08:002016-02-07T19:24:35.435-08:00Me too (:Me too (:Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891228784062003373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-22234532692172980262015-11-08T07:30:21.067-08:002015-11-08T07:30:21.067-08:001.It is called as a movie,of course it'll be d...1.It is called as a movie,of course it'll be dramatic...<br />2.if you are good in the movie thing,make one and stop complainingChris ysphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848245456275658057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-58294320308619565752015-11-08T07:27:29.619-08:002015-11-08T07:27:29.619-08:001.It is called as a movie,of course it'll be d...1.It is called as a movie,of course it'll be dramatic...<br />2.if you are good in the movie thing,make one and stop complainingChris ysphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848245456275658057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-88512733785447786612014-11-17T10:13:19.590-08:002014-11-17T10:13:19.590-08:00I loved it. I don't look at movies to see the...I loved it. I don't look at movies to see the fighting as much as the lesson to be learned. I love many types of movies and some interest me and some don't. It is a personal preference and that is what counts. What I took from IP man is that just because you have power or can be cruel, there are better ways.<br /><br />I don't see that in this thread. Who cares who likes what. Siskel and Ebert worked well for years and still had a difference of opinion. To each his own. It does not make you smart or stupid It certainly does not require name calling and poking at intelligence.<br /><br />What I like is up to me and with understanding comes integrity and respect. Either watch the movie or don't. I am sure some time in your life you have went to a movie you didn't like. Everyone doesn't have the same taste.<br /><br />A review is an opinion not a fact. There are more important things in live than, how good or bad IP man was. That is what I took from IP man and even if the martial arts was not up to par. I love to watch martial arts movies not pick them apart. If I wanted to do that then I would find a dojo and join for the reality of the sport.<br /><br />TV sensationalizes a lot and so what. It was a movie and even if someone's life. It was a movie. If I spent all my time worrying about Tyler Perry being a man, then I would never actually enjoy Madea. Once again, just a movie.<br /><br />P.S. This anonymous, is a woman that simply was looking for information about IP man, when I came across this thread. To me martial arts is about finding peaceful ways to solve conflicts; instead of being a part of one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-82378700532125853732013-10-09T12:57:12.677-07:002013-10-09T12:57:12.677-07:00If you don't like it.. don't watch it and ...If you don't like it.. don't watch it and shut up a bit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000124719855748711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-88909747037700972952013-09-05T06:14:01.409-07:002013-09-05T06:14:01.409-07:00Yip Man did fight in a lot of western boxing match...Yip Man did fight in a lot of western boxing matches. They just decided to combine them all together into one person/fight for Ip Man 2. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but I definitely preferred the first one. Anyway, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. People need to relax and not get so worked up. Getting angry and calling a person names because they don't agree with you is very childish. It also makes the person who is being so hostile look like they are an idiot.

If you go into detail any movie is stupid (sure some more than others and I think you made your points here). But you gotta let that go, get in the movie and enjoy it. It does kinda suck that they didn't keep the story real to the character portrayed, which is probably the reason why you didn't enjoy it as much as I did (of course i suspected it was exaggerated but I didnt know to what extent, I'll have to keep looking into Yip Man's bio). Nonetheless c'mon sure it wasnt great but, considering today's declining movie market, hey it wasnt that bad either! If not take a look at Real Steal, its the real deal! Everyone's like Tony saying its grrrrreat!... uh... yep... i think i made my point here :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-63128409798112431122011-10-10T17:52:45.191-07:002011-10-10T17:52:45.191-07:00Yes, this movie sucked!

After seeing the first one, I couldn't have imagined I'd be let down as badly as I was, but hey, it happens. I think the review was fairly accurate although I did enjoy the fighting scenes once I realized the movie from the start was going to be entirely fictional. I felt it was well made, just poorly written with borrowed plots. I assume most people who find your review terrible feel as though a great tragedy has once again been brought on the Chinese. Sadly, with sensitive egos like that, you won't get much from reading the comments. Great made move, fun but unbelievably fake fight scenes, average acting at best, poor story. That's the best review I can give it.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09005509322298890003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654249247173228152.post-5255227149976348072011-06-19T07:41:37.974-07:002011-06-19T07:41:37.974-07:00Wow!!

In my opinion this was a good movie but they didn't take it there like they should have. I do have to agree with rocky concept though lol. But the movie touched on something every fighter wants an answer on. Kung Fu Vs boxing...? Which will win? That is the question. The comments about why does he get to kick is absurd. Without kicks, arm grabs, throws and all the tricks it would not be Kung Fu. Fighting is all about winning by ANY means. There is NO such thing as a fair fight. If you trained to box you are a cheater because you have learned to take punches and trained to maximize punching power. How is that FAIR to a common man? If you know Kung Fu you have trained in various areas. The question is if a Kung Fu guy and a boxer were to fight in a life/death situation in a back alley who would prevail? That's the question everyone wants answered. And I think this movie hinted on it but didn't go all the way. Kung Fu would in my opinion. Eye jabs, arm breaks, pressure points, throws, leg breaks, throat jabs, and many other techniques are ALL apart of the training. If it's you or him why wouldn't you use everything you have? Ip man one touched on this as well... The Japanese said "ef" all that Kung Fu stuff...
