The film met all my expectations, so I'm very satisfied with it. And "October Siege" didn't meet my expectations of being addicted to watching martial arts, so my evaluation of it is not as good as this film.

The whole movie focuses on Donnie Yen's martial arts, and it's exciting enough, with excellent graphics and sound effects. In addition to Donnie Yen, there is also Sammo Hung joining, which is heavier than Fan Shaohuang in the first episode. These two real kung fu battles are wonderful, and they are better than computer special effects films like "Jin Yi Wei". The Japanese Boss in the first episode was killed by Donnie Yen, probably because of the hatred of the Chinese people for Japan; while the Boss in the second episode is a British, so he does not have such a strong emotional factor, so he can let go of his hands and feet, and the opponent is still the United Kingdom Boxing champion, so this film is quite creative in martial arts design. In terms of violations, there are both sides. The British boxing champion is obviously not in the same weight class as Donnie Yen. According to the boxing rules, he obviously cannot fight. Well, elbow strikes obviously won't work either. Just plain boring.

With the patriotic atmosphere as the main foil, other elements stand aside, and even the process of Xiong Dailin's childbirth is ignored. This is also very clever. Huang Xiaoming and Shi Xiaolong are basically soy sauce. The atmosphere of the whole film is concentrated and coherent. The martial arts process may be a little bloody, because of the excellent sound effects, it does not help to close your eyes and hide in other people's arms. Sammo Hung's face was smashed, and some of the audience's arms were also scratched.

    Ip Man: Let me give you an introduction. As a matter of fact, Wing Chun is a close combat style from the South...
