I think I needed subtitles for Mike Tyson the most

Feels like a watered down version of the previous 2 entries, and more like a generic action movie than an Ip Man movie specifically, but this new character Mr Cheung is by far the coolest in the series so far, maybe even more than Ip Man himself. And Mike Tyson is in this but the film forgets about him for the first hour after introducing him, and once he returns it immediately forgets about him again. To put it bluntly, I doubt anybody would've watched this if it wasn't the 3rd installment in a franchise. There's almost no stylistic reminiscence to the original and nothing that separates it from any other half decent action movie. I had fun with it but it's really not all that good. Fun is fun though.

I got emotional during the closing montage, am I that easily manipulated?

Ups the schmaltz factor on the previous two installments (not exactly lacking in that department for starters) with a shamelessly executed cancer subplot - I'm either so in the tank for these that it doesn't matter or I'm just easily manipulated, or maybe it's both. Nice to see the slender thread of Ip being kind of an absentee husband picked up so markedly here, but as ever the fights are the thing, this time handled by Yuen Woo-ping instead of Sammo Hung. They're great! The bladed segment of the final fight deserves an Oscar for sound design alone.

How did we go from a somewhat gritty war drama with occasional martial arts thrown in, to a schlocky Rocky IV remake with an equally hilarious villain, to Ip Man fighting literal Mike Tyson?

Donnie Yen's Punch Out!

what the fuck is mike tyson saying

That last fight scene titty fucked me to heaven.
They've been teasing Bruce Lee since the beginning. Let's go, already!
The story had layers upon layers of main plot. With each change, it evolves into something spiritual.

Enlever Mike Tyson et je donne 4 🌟, bâtard! Que son personnage n’a aucune raison d’être. Mais le fight dans l’escalier filmer de haut en partie, une idée géniale de photographie de combat!

Why tf was Mike Tyson in this?

A series of diminishing returns.

not as good as the frist 2 but still good i really enjoyed it i did not know that Mike Tyson was in this. the guy does Bruce lee is pretty good

5 stars for Mike tyson and Donnie yen fight

Geweldige gevechtsscènes mooi in evenwicht gebracht met dramatische en biografische elementen.

Gelungene Fortsetzung der Reihe.

Beautifully shot!!!!

I am a huge fan of the Ip Man franchise, the first two are a paragon of a good blockbuster; the drama is believable but the real draw is the masterfully choreographed fight scenes performed by the legendary Donnie Yen. The third however, didn’t manage to reach quite the height of its predecessors.

 The action as always is striking, but it felt as if its writers were struggling to develop a story worthy of Ip Man’s icon status. At points in the film it started to feel like a, enemy-of-the-week TV show. This wasn’t helped by neither of its villains being truly charismatic, specifically Mike Tyson. 

The added focus on Ip’s personal life was appreciated, and at times emotional, but the acting suffered in accordance with an action blockbuster trying to convey meaningful emotions. Still, the fights are always a sight to see, they just may not have been enough to convince on the necessity of making a third film.

Mike Tyson should of just played himself

6/10
