Ip Man 4: The Finale

Film yang bagus!

First let me say that I loved the first 3 movies and Donnie Yen is one of my favorite Kung Fu actors... But this movie is just trash. I don't know how you can ruin a great franchise more completely then they did with this movie. Zero plot with just a bunch of racist propaganda thrown in to try and get a reaction. Fight scenes were decent but felt contrived. Historically inaccurate at every turn, I mean no one is looking for a documentary here but c'mon lets at least try a little. If you really like the first 3 movies do yourself a favor and stop there.

First two movies were beautiful, funny, touching and wonderful cinema. Third movie was ok but lost some of the soul of the original 2. This final (4th) movie was even worse. So sad to see the series end on a stupid, leftist note. Very depressing.

I acknowledge the fight scenes are well done. Those get an overall score of 7 - after averaging my scores of all of the fight sequences (and there are many). The filmmakers wrote a story about old illiberal bigotries, in which women and people of color were demeaned. That is so yesterday. These stereotypes have not been removed, however, they have simply been flipped and applied to men and white people, demeaning and vilifying them as women and people of color were demeaned previously. Is the new bigotry more righteous than the old? The filmmakers are betting that you believe in the new bigotry.

The fighting scenes were good but the acting was terrible from most of the actors, actually almost all the actors. The scenario and all the conversations are stupid and boring. No twist in the movie, from the first minute i could be able to know what will happen however i still enjoyed the fighting.

Now that's how you make a proper film. The whole movie was super impressive. Never got bored.

By far the worst of the Ip Man films. Aside from some good action scenes, the film overall is terrible. And also a bit racist towards white people, painting them all as horrible bullying bigots. Also dumb was the decision to have one person speak to the other in Cantonese and the other replies in Mandarin. It's like someone talking to you in French and you reply in English even though you don't understand French. Another terrible decision was casting Vanda Margraf who is clearly mixed-race to play the daughter of someone whose character would never enter into a relationship with a white woman.

First things first, I really like the the first two Ip Man movies, even they were also packed with propaganda, they had a kind of comprehensible billing element to it. In particular the fight against the japanese occupation and Ip Man's migration to Hong Kong in 1949 and his attempt to install his Wing Chun martial art school. But the 4th and final part of the saga is just unbearably bad. Bad script and a bad plot, in other worth it is actually just an awful movie that uses two of martial arts all time greats in Ip Man and Bruce Lee, to spread chinese propaganda around the globe.

This film start with Yip Man watching his student "Bruce Lee" fighting at the San Francisco stadium, flashback of he diagnose having cancer, one of Bruce Lee's student invite Yip Man to San Francisco watching him demonstrate Chinese martial art, and an U.S. local Chinese community leader "Wan Zong Hua" refuse to writing a recommendation letter for Yip Man, because Bruce Lee teaching white people martial art scene! As turnout, this chapter is about a marine officer "Barton" despise Chinese Kung Fu, he want to defeat all the Chinese Kung Fu master to prove karate more superior, and Yip Man stood out to defend them! Entire film full of touching and intense martial art scene! Touching scene! Such as, Yip Man's son eventually answer his father call, after he knowing his father had cancer! All the martial art scene actually quite over par and satisfy! Such as, first one, Bruce Lee fighting with a man at the street scene! The nunchaku playing by Bruce Lee surprising good in this scene! He never hit by the nunchaku on the face! Second one, Yip Man fighting with Wan Zong Hua scene! This scene eventually end with the house shaking and the chandelier fell down! Third one, Colin fight with Hartman at the marine training ground scene! The martial art in this scene also quite intense and watchable! Fourth one, Colin challenge all the Chinese Kung Fu master at the Chinatown scene! This scene eventually end with Yip Man take down Colin by his famous "Yip Man punch"! Fifth one, Barton take down several man at the martial art school scene! This scene had things broken and quite impressive kicking and punching! Sixth one, Barton fighting with Wan Zong Hua scene! Barton defeat Wan Zong Hua in this scene! This scene had hand and leg broken and bloody scene! Last one, surely is the most epic one! Barton fight with Yip Man scene! Yip Man wounded on the ground and mock by Barton, Yip Man eventually defeat Barton by broken his leg, hand and neck! At the end, Yip Man back to his house and teaching his son martial art! Yip Man want his son record he hitting the dummy! Yip Man died and Bruce Lee attend his funeral! That's it! Definitely a must watch film for action fans! Surely we will remember the significant quote of this saga forever! "I want fight with ten men"!

Saw it at the theatres, such an amazing finale. Donnie, you're an amazing martial artist. Lived up to IP MAN's legacy.
