Has to be the best martial arts movie ever. It is a must for your home collection. Once you have seen this you must see the rest of them

A great movie to watch. Based on a true story makes this movie really enjoyable and fascinating to watch not only for martial arts fans but for anyone. Usually subtitles can be very of putting but I think in this movie it works very well.There is also some very good acting to go along with the amazing story.

Description
After a first attempt to portray Ip's life on screen resulted in the project being abandoned, producer Raymond Wong developed his own film with full consent from Ip's sons, and had filmmakers head to Foshan, to research Master Ip's life. Ip Chun, Ip Man's eldest son served as a consultant for the film. Donnie Yen, who was set to star in the abandoned film project, received a star fee and was invited to join Wong's production after a successful collaboration with director Wilson Yip on the 2007 film Flash Point. Ip Man is adapted from the life story of Yip Man, the grandmaster of the Wing Chun style of kung fu and sifu of legendary kung fu superstar Bruce Lee. This film will be the first important record of the master's life.

Concerning today's crop of stars of martial arts movies, I never thought anyone could come close to Jet Li. Well, as Ip Man, Donnie Chen has more than come close–he's right up there with the Jet!
He's the Americanised Asian martial arts master (gleaming white, unnaturally perfect teeth, did he have plastic surgery?) next to Jet Li's down to earth, plain vanilla polka faced, hard-as warrior. With such a warrior/gentleman as mentor one can see how Bruce Lee was inspire with his unique philosophy–the portend of today's mixed martial arts.
Enhanced by Matrix-like/Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon fight scenes (done just right, not over the top) technology against the backdrop of the Japanese invasion this is one great movie that for me (as someone who saw all the classics like Enter the Dragon, Eagles Shadow etc in the 80s as a boy) has generated freshness into the genre, something that I didn't think was possible because I considered those earlier classics perfect and impossible to improve upon. Enuff said. Great movie, get it. If you're a martial arts movie buff Ip Man should be the start of your Donnie Chen collection right next to your Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Lee collection.
