      The plot is too much, but the martial arts are acceptable

      The whole film gives me the feeling that it is a "cottage", a follow-up work, and the outline of the story is a mess. The feeling of watching "Ip Man" is amazing, "Ip Man 2" is inferior, but it is also excellent. It is not necessary to compare, but there is no comparison at all.

      Ye Wen is a typical martial arts master temperament in the first part. It can be seen that the children of rich families had a smooth life and never experienced major setbacks. After the Japanese...

      can see

      "Ip Man 3" was released. Of course, I have to make up for this series. I have not watched "Ip Man Prequel" this time. I also took time to watch it this time. It can be said that "Ip Man Prequel" is a personal martial arts show of Hong Kong martial arts athlete Du Yuhang. His movements are undoubtedly textbook-style, very real, without imitating Donnie Yen, and have his own characteristics. Ye Zhun, Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao, and Shaohuang Fan have made green leaves for several generations of kung...

      Just a martial arts movie

      It's an old-fashioned and disgusting plot again, and the only thing worth watching is the fight scene in it.
      I was watching this with my roommates, and my only impulse was to throw them away from the computer: then press hard, right arrow, fast forward, fast forward, play a while, fast forward, play a while, and then Fast forward...
      like, yes, it's the same feeling as watching a tertiary movie.
      But I didn't do that. After all, there are still people who watch third-level movies...

      The couplet plaque in the film is good

      "Ip Man Prequel"

      Wing Chun Martial Arts couplet:
      The sea accepts hundreds of rivers and does not resist water, so it can not overflow dissatisfaction; Li Qianren also tolerates the Yin Fu of vines, so Yixiu Yigang
      suddenly opened a thousand years ago The green mountain was my Buddha ; Forget the scenery and objects in the moment, all the fingers are full of affection. The

      couplets of the house : Stand up
      like Mount Tai and rise to the clouds; Live like an...

      Ye Wen is also an ordinary person

      After watching the prequel of Ip Man, I have to admit that it is a good movie. It is better than Ip Man 1 and 2. It has a plot, human nature, and a lot of thought-provoking truths. A person should not only stand in his own interests, but should take the real right and wrong as the standard of behavior. If you do something wrong, your conscience will be condemned. An'an behaves in a separate manner, does not pursue more, has a big belly, and is willing to accept differences. These are the...

      Could have been a good story. The first half is still unified, and the lines and plots are laid out in the second half, breaking up the overall narrative rhythm. The director wants to talk a lot, but the main line is too long, which makes the final climax come too late and seems very rushed. The portrayal of the characters is weak, and the branch characters obviously do not have enough psychological transformation...

      At first, I thought it was a more promising dog blood, because all kinds of stereotypes are for the film to be played all the time. But I don't want the situation to take a turn for the worse after the film is halfway through, and suddenly it starts super spoofing and not...

      I really wonder how such a crappy N character, a big disciple of Hong Quan in Ye Wen 2, turned into Ye Wen. . ....

    Evaluation action

    The film uses three levels of love, love and patriotism to create the growth trajectory of youth Ye Wen. And these three layers act as a traction for each other, as the driving force of the development of the story, they overlap and add to make the image of Ye Wen more three-dimensional. (Sohu Entertainment Review)  Although the rhythm of the film is very slow and there are few ups and downs, it is both dynamic and static, and the...
