Critics consensus

“At once beholden to the established conventions of the genre and delightfully subversive of them, Ip Man is one of the most exciting -- and refreshingly character-driven -- martial arts films in years.”

RTSan Francisco ChronicleOct 28, 2010

A period piece filmed on obvious but eye-pleasing studio sets with wall-to-wall kung fu and a simplistic, philosophical message.

An explosive exercise in bare-knuckled myth-biography.

It remains an inexplicable, contextless bit of kung fu historicosploitation -- albeit a very satisfying one.

It’s all quite conventional... and nonetheless rousing. Yen, a master martial artist who learned Wing Chun for the role, is a model of martial grace and physical control...
