The cast, shooting, and martial arts have all been perfected. The real peak it faces is actually itself, namely "Ip Man" and "Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grandmaster". Of course, it is not as amazing as the first one, but Its creative team is very smart to keep all the excellent elements in the first part, so we see a sequel that is very similar to the sequel. Even if it is the police baton, Fei Bo, who is willing to be a foreign slave for life; still, Ye Wen is still the incarnation of the perfect man. Women see their eyes as heart-shaped, and men secretly practice dumbbells again (perhaps this has a lot to do with Ye Zhun as a consultant). From the fact that this film accurately replicates the successful elements of the previous film, we can also see the pragmatism of Hong Kong films: since it is a commercial film, it must first ensure the box office, rather than blindly pursuing style.
Such precise positioning is called "pleasure" by the media. In fact, this word is not derogatory. If our commercial films can all know that they are commercial films, and the audience's appreciation and liking are the most important criteria to measure the quality of the film, our film It's been a long time ago, but fortunately, starting from "October Siege", "good-looking" has finally become an important criterion for measuring the quality of a movie.
The paragraph of Ip Man and the British boxing champion tornado style fight is fierce. At the end, Dan Ge seems to possess all kinds of Chinese heroes and beat the tornado into a mess. This paragraph makes people see blood boiled, and his fists are involuntarily clenched tightly. But from a personal point of view, the round table duel between Brother Dan and Lord Hong is even more exciting. Five years ago in "Slaying the Wolf", Lord Hong and Brother Dan's duel was the most gorgeous movement in Hong Kong-style kung fu films. In comparison, the duel between Jet Li and Jackie Chan in "King of Kung Fu" is like an amateur level. The round-table duel in Ip Man 2 is probably the farewell performance of Hong Ye, who is nearly 60 years old. Although it is not as classic as "Slaying the Wolf" back then, it is also a paragraph worthy of collection by kung fu movie fans.
Movies should be dream-making, especially commercial movies. Either tell a story well, or give people a beautiful dream. "Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grandmaster" has achieved both of these points. The leading actors, screenwriters, and publicity teams who have entered the state can't help but not be popular. I just hope that if there is a third film in the Ip Man series, it can be a little more innovative and not so close in terms of story rhythm and plot. But then again, if Ye Wen shoots the third film, he can only use Bruce Lee as the story. At the end of the first and second films, Bruce Lee will be used to support the scene, and the third film will not make sense without some of his story.
