Review of Ip Man 3

Ip Man 3 (2015)
6/10
Great wing chun film. Fails on drama, for an American audience. Still worth seeing.

The movie had some of the greatest wing chun fight sequences I've ever seen, which were extremely well-choreographed and believable (except that most people could never receive the blows these characters take, and survive, let alone keep fighting). However, the dramatic sequences were heavy and frequent, slowing the pace of the movie to make it downright laborious (requiring fast forwarding for the sake of two teen aged boys who, like myself, could not appreciate the dramatic acting by Chinese actors who were rather poorly overdubbed in English). The movie is definitely worth renting, if you have an interest in martial arts films. It's just so well done. But be ready to fast forward ;-)
