Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Peter Lorme Ip Man 3 (2016) is a solid, but slightly underwhelming conclusion to a great series. We once again get amazing action with some great choreography, appreciable acting, and a solid plot. However, I found this film to be extremely over-the-top with its dramatic moments. The final fight scene wasn't as enthralling or as intriguing as the previous two. Let's talk about Mike Tyson in this film. It was really surprising to see him in this, but he is an absolutely terrible actor. Don't even get me started as his attempts to speak Chinese. I wasn't as invested in this movie as I was for 'Ip Man' and 'Ip Man 2', (especially 'Ip Man'). Not to take away from the fact that this film is still thoroughly entertaining. I was never truly bored, nor did I feel the need to stop watching. I just wasn't that impressed with the film as a whole. 'Ip Man 3' is a great martial arts movie, but it pales in comparison to the rest of the series.

Paul Magne Haakonsen A third delve into the legend of Ip Man. And I will say that they managed to keep the third movie up to level with the previous two movies, and that was an achievement in itself.The story here revolves around a property developer and his gangsters trying to claim a local school, and Master Ip Man takes it upon himself to stand up to them.Donnie Yen makes a third and glorious return as Ip Man, and he does so once again with flying colors. He really was cast so well for this particular role, especially because he is capable of combining acting and martial arts with grace.Similar to the previous two movies, then "Ip Man 3" is loaded with martial arts throughout the course of the movie. And the martial arts in this third movie was done with great skill, it was graceful and visually impressive to look at. It was nicely choreographed and equally so executed by the martial artists on the screen. There are some very memorable martial arts scenes throughout this movie, as there has been in the previous two, but the elevator scene was especially interesting.The cast in "Ip Man 3" was good, although I personally didn't like that they had Mike Tyson in the movie. Sure he might throw a powerful punch, but he doesn't have acting talent nor much on-screen appeal. So I think they could have fared better with a different cast for the role of Frank.It was also a nice touch to see a young Bruce Lee make an appearance in the movie, seeking to study with Master Ip Man. And actor Kwok-Kwan Chan did a good job, although it was a bit over-acted in a way. But it was fun, nonetheless.The 2015 "Ip Man 3" movie is a definite must watch movie if you enjoy martial arts, and especially so if you enjoyed the previous two "Ip Man" movies from 2008 and 2010.

Rob Wright One of those ultra rare films where you're welling up one minute and watching a brutal and highly skilled fight the next.Ip man films have always been known as truly elite when it comes to not only superb choreographed fight sequences but also a riveting and highly entertaining storyline. For me Ip man 3 excels over its prequels by focusing on Ip mans wife and her illness. This gives the film a sadder tone and sends a real deep message about being by the side of those you love, no matter what else is going on. Overall a truly masterful film that shines as bright as the blades and makes you feel emotion and thrill in equal measure, truly one of the best films I've ever seen.

Leofwine_draca IP MAN 3 is the belated final instalment of the true story trilogy. It features the famous Wing Chun proponent and his wife in their later years, living quiet lives in Hong Kong until a ruthless property developer earmarks their son's school for demolition, at which point Ip Man steps into the fray to sort things out.This third movie isn't as good as the two predecessors, but that's not to say it's not entertaining. In fact, it's very entertaining indeed, and filled with the kind of expertly-choreographed action (thanks, Yuen Woo-ping!) that made the first two films so good in the first place. Donnie Yen returns to the role he made his own and once again plays it restrained to great effect.IP MAN 3 isn't perfect by any means. There's a little too much family background stuff, including a sub-plot that all but dominates the last quarter of the movie, making it slow when it should be exciting. I can understand its importance, but it feels out of place in what is in all other respects a straightforward fight flick. Still, there's so much great action elsewhere that it's hard to complain, and the spectacle of seeing Yen going up against Mike Tyson is impossible to resist.
