"Reproduction of the Plot", Reivew on Ip Man 2

This sequel to "Ip Man" is a complete remake of "Ip Man" in terms of plot. First is the setting of the general environment: internal and external troubles, and then the arrangement of the climax of the story: foreigners insult Chinese martial arts or Chinese, and then Ip Man goes up to challenge and finally defeats foreigners. Such a "plot re-enactment" seems to be too lazy for the screenwriter to make up such a bad story in order to save trouble. Huang Xiaoming's performance in the movie is very bland, and there is nothing to highlight. The adult version of Shi Xiaolong is a fat boy, and he has almost no martial arts background as a child. Donnie Yen's makeup in this play is a bit heavy, and after watching the whole movie, I always feel that his face is full of oil, which makes people feel awkward. At the end of the movie, Bruce Lee surprisingly appeared. If Weixin Ye wanted to make "Ip Man 3", he should tell the story of Bruce Lee, which is very exciting.
