What a movie! It was long time ago since I watched movie that triggered so many different emotions in me. I honor the director for daring to shoot the movie which shows the real face of foreign colonizers and their disrespect for the local culture. After flood of very bad and shallow movies which Hollywood machinery had spit out in the last decade, Chinese movies are real refreshment which break the western pattern- sex with pretty girls, bad jokes and "spreading of democracy" by any means necessary. That is why I respect Chines culture the most.
Anyway, Donnie Yen is the perfect guy for this job. His moves are fluent and perfect, but it is his facial expression that impress me the most- I am peaceful, I do not want any troubles, just let me be, otherwise...
The story of this movie is almost perfect, no matter what other people here say. Certain characters are little pushed to the extremes, but that is exactly what gives this movie a charm. Nevertheless, I find the story told in the first movie little more original.
After watching Yip Man 2 I was really sorry that it had to end. You cotton with the characters in some way and I can not wait for the part three. It would be the trilogy better than Godfather, I dare to say! This is the movie you have to watch and, after that, I am sure that you will want to watch it again. But, de gustibus non est disputandum! At the end, who can satisfy everyones appetite!?
