Ip Man 2: Yip Man 2 (2010)

I had high expectations of this film after enjoying the first film. Sadly I found this one very disappointing. A film clearly set up for a trilogy since it didn't even get to the part we all want to see... Ip Man training Bruce Lee.

The film focuses on his migration from China to Hong Kong after World War II. The migration isn't enough to fill up a movie so they dramatized a struggle against Western boxing to fill the movie. This killed the movie for me. Darren Shahlavi was horrible as "Twister," I'm not sure if he is just a bad actor since he has an awful resume or if it is a matter of the director asking him to be an over-the-top unbelievable bad guy. Either way the end result is crap and makes this a bad Asian Rocky film.

Part 3 better be about him training Bruce Lee. 

Vote: 4/10
