Review of Ip Man 2

Ip Man 2 (2010)
8/10
The Excellence of Donnie Yen
7 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Donnie Yen once more reprises the role of 'Yip Man'. Starting off were the first film ended, Yip Man and his family move to Hong Kong, and there he starts a Wing Chun school. However, HK's Kung Fu elite have other ideas.

I cannot quite put my finger on it, but this film lacked certain elements from the original, the Wing Chun is still breathtaking as ever, but the storyline seems to be the same...Fight to live. Donnie Yen is fantastic as he teaches his students the disciplines of Wing Chun, but it is a shame that we, the audience, do not witness Yip Man actually give students a lesson.

The end I felt was over done, I understand certain attitudes towards the British, but the boxing match was very dull in my opinion.
