Critic Reviews
Ip Man 2 (2010) Review: Wing Chun Meets the Empire
★★★★☆
Ip Man 2 moves Donnie Yen's Wing Chun master to 1950s Hong Kong, where rival schools and a British boxer test him in a rousing, if familiar, martial arts sequel.
Yes. It is an exciting, crowd-pleasing kung fu sequel with superb fights, even if the story repeats the first film's formula. Ideal for martial arts fans.
