Ip Man is loosely based on the life of Yip Man a legendary martial artist responsible for the spread of Wing Chung around the world including Bruce Lee as one of his disciples. The film follows his life before and during World War 2 where Yip struggles to survive during the Japanese occupation of China.
A very engaging story with amazing fight choreography Ip man is one of the better martial art films to come out in a while. Donnie yen gives a fantastic performance as the modest but fearsome master. This has some of the best fights I have seen in a long time, the scene where Yip takes on 10 Japanese fighters is a classic with such brutality and beauty blended together into total kickassery.
This is a very good martial arts/true story with some fine directing, acting and fights. The flaws a few and far between its a definite recommendation for anyone.

The most disappointing sequel since Terminator 3.
Weak story telling coupled with uninspired action. There were so many cheesy moments and unintended laughter from the nonsensical plot, terrible dialogue and bad acting. The acting ranged from weak to mediocre and there were no memorable action or fight scenes whatsoever. I have seen Ong Bak 1 about 4 times and I still watch in awe of the amazing stunts and fight choreography along with its decent plot, but I never intend to see this abomination of a sequel again.
This doesn't deserve to share the name of its far superior predecessor.

My all time favorite film, the movie that made watching films a hobby rather than a pass time for me. Its one of those films that get better over time and is more entertaining after multiple viewings.

The fact that when you know whats gonna happen and you know the awesome dialogue by heart makes it an even better experience to watch. Samuel Jackson, John Travolta, Harvey Keitel and Bruce Willis were all spectacular and in their prime, especially Jackson.

The only negative part of the film for me was that a few scenes could have been trimmed down to quicken the pace a bit such as the one at the 50s restaurant , if that scene was a bit shorter this film would be perfect.

I love films that you can just talk to your mates about for ages. Pulp Fiction is one of those films.

A masterpiece, it's very had to meet find someone who doesn't like this film. it can be appreciated on so many levels. When I studied this film in high school I must have watched it at least 5 times and I still didn't get sick of it. The acting by Tim Robbin and Morgan Freeman was outstanding, they create very endearing characters in Andy and Red. All the characters had so much depth and were interesting to watch, even the supporting characters such as Brooks who served as foils for the main cast could have had a film of their own. Warden Norton is one of the most memorable antagonists in film and you just love to hate him and see him get his just desserts from Andy at the end. The technical work was brilliant as well with awesome cinematography that gives the prison a life of its own. This is one of my favourite films of all time and the most respected piece of film work I've seen. A must see for anyone with a pulse.
