IP MAN: KUNG FU MASTER harks back to Ip’s early days before the Communist Revolution in 1949. Ip, portrayed by Dennis To for the third time as the martial artist who famously tutored Bruce Lee, was then a police captain who was framed for the murder of a ruthless but honorable mobster, and targeted for vengeance by his dangerous daughter. Forced to quit the force, Ip soon also has to contend with the arrival of the Japanese army in Guangzhou.

The film takes itself a bit too seriously and reshuffles the deck of plot tropes instead of inventing its own ideas.

2.5/5

For every moment when director Liming Li successfully balances stunts and storytelling, there are dozens more where Kung Fu Master succumbs to its broader elements or its pull towards nationalist cinema.

But where in "Grandmaster" the superhuman feats were related with cinematic poetry, this one's ambitions are expressed in the funny-pages vernacular of a superhero one-knee landing (which does occur in the film).

Less biopic, more a muddled if entertaining fever dream of Donnie Yen's finest moments

"Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" is not the best entry in the franchise, but is a quite entertaining movie that both fans of martial arts movies and of Shaw Brothers productions will enjoy.
