To the cinema : Ip Man - 叶问

I didn't know about this movie until the husband said to me one day, "Hey, your Donnie Yen has a new movie coming up. Let's go watch it." I knew it had to be some kind of kung fu movie, or else the husband will never suggest to watch it.

There is something about Donnie Yen that makes him quite attractive, and I can't really explain what is it. Maybe it's his charisma, or the way he handles himself, or some kind of X-factor... this is a totally different kind of fantasy attraction that I have with Aaron Kwok and Takeshi Kaneshiro.


Anyway, there is honestly nothing much to say about this movie, as it is about the life story of the real Yip Man, which can be read from the summary. It's the fighting scenes that are the selling points of the movie, and the acting skills of the other seasoned actors. One can almost feel the fury, helplessness, sadness and desperation of each character just by the expressions on their faces and in their eyes. I think it's also a chance for Donnie Yen to show off his kung fu.

As it's been stated in some reports, there are already plans for the 2nd and 3rd sequels. I can't wait! Hope they do not fall under the jinx of "the-sequels-are-not-as-good-as-part-one".

Eh, I'm not a very good movie critic, am I?
