"The opening movie "Yip Man-The Ultimate Battle" at first glance is not a major international blockbuster, especially compared to " The Grandmaster " is smaller, but the story to be told is more approachable. Herman Yau Lai-To's Yip Man (Anthony Perry (played by Perry) is light and low-key. In the movie, Master Wing Chun and The heroine seem to be more ordinary middle-aged and old people than legendary martial arts masters, and it happens to be so calm and calm, making the movie come like a bite after a luxurious feast Qing tea.
"Ye" is also not lacking in martial arts. But Director Qiu deliberately focused on recreating the old Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s, in order to cherish the common people’s feelings and tastes of life; many details in the film may seem typical at first, but the old feelings are actually presented by this. , Both grassroots and lively, the memories of the city evoked by this, regardless of whether the viewer has experienced it personally, they still feel a little bit in it. Like Sham Shui Wa and the Kowloon Walled City, the no longer-seen large-scale food stalls/markets, old-style dish-headed rice, airplanes, lion dances, corruption and black and white, strike riots, and underground arenas, let’s be honest. They are all familiar decorations, and the various elements are combined, but they have the taste of previous Hong Kong films, "internally mixed" but full of vitality. "()
"Like this work, Herman Yau Lai-To never let me down, Anthony Perry is as pleasant as usual, Anita Yuen is a surprise! (Original: I like it. Herman never let me down, Anthony Wong is amazing as usual! Anita Yuen is a surprise!)” ()
"The soul of this movie lies in a lot of references to Hong Kong's history and social conditions in the 1950s and 1960s. The old streets reshaped in the scene are full of life and saturated with colors. (Original: The soul of this movie is really in its tireless references to the historical and social conditions of 1950s and 60s Hong Kong, whose street views are recreated in vibrant, saturated colours.)” ()
There is a certain feeling, but it is not a successful movie. The film narrative has two layers before and after. Yip Man, his disciples and other "Hong Kong people" who worked so hard have had a hard time living, and later returned to the clichéd stage of fighting the ring. In the film, not only Anthony Perry and Eric Tsang's two "masters" rivals appear to be pediatrics, Anita Yuen who plays Yip Man's wife is also wasted alive, and Jordan Chan, Zhong Xintong and Hong Tianming who play Yip Man's disciples are almost buried. In the director's barren shot scheduling, it was extravagant and wasteful. ()
A film that is not serious and lacks presence. Compared with other films in the "Yip Man" series and Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster", it is far inferior in terms of budget and main creative lineup. The film is closer to the past rapid works of Herman Yau Lai-To, and it is exposed from time to time. The sense of violation is dumb. In the golden years of Hong Kong movies, there have been many such fast-handed and fast-acting movies. However, after entering the era of co-production, blockbuster movies suddenly raised their budgets, and movies such as "Yip Man: The Ultimate Battle" have changed. At a loss as to what to do, the Cantonese saying is "two ends don't reach the shore." ()
