Ip Man appears as this example of a perfect and morally upright individual without a single vice. I found this highly unrealistic and perhaps even nationalistic, especially considering the way he appears to defeat the entire Japanese army by himself while virtually never taking a hit. The movie was definitely entertaining and the sequence in which Ip Man fights off ten opponents is a real gem, but, as a whole, I feel this movie is highly overrated both by you and by countless others.

I noticed myself paying a lot of attention to the sounds of the movie. Tightening a fist and landing punches sounded as good as it looked. The former brought to mind a rope being strung taut (in the scene that took place in the wool-factory towards the end of the movie if I remember correct). Everything was pretty much top-notch in Ip Man for me to pay attention to small details. Definitely a great movie. I noticed myself paying a lot of attention to the sounds of the movie.

But i am gonna have to put Tony Jaa slightly higher in terms of action star status. Is it me or do we need a super battle between all of these martial arts stars?

When it comes to martial arts films I am in it for the fighting. It ticks me off when I rent a film that is selling itself as a fighting film but everyone's shooting each other. It is not cool to bring a gun to a fist fight! No guns and no CGI and I'm a happy gal. I’m looking forward to seeing this one!!!
