Donnie Yen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2) ignites the screen in a return to the role that made him an icon - as Ip Man, the real-life Wing Chun grandmaster who mentored Bruce Lee. In this explosive third installment of the blockbuster martial arts series, when a band of brutal gangsters led by a crooked property developer (Mike Tyson) make a play to take over the city, Master Ip is forced to take a stand.

Ip Man 3 brings back Donnie Yen, to reprise his role as the undefeated, machine-gun punching master of Wing Chun. I was slightly wary while watching, because I wasn't a fan of Ip Man 2. That second film, simply felt like a rehash of the first movie - Ip Man schooling his peers, and then fighting the foreign devil(s). I was hoping this 3rd movie tackled a different antagonist/story, and for the most part, it does.
Keynotes:
- From my observations, the movie plays out into 3 distinct acts. The first part revolves around a school. The second part involves Chinese gangsters, and of course 'foreign devils'. The final part is personal for Ip Man, and I felt it was the best segment of the film.
- Mike Tyson does have minor acting roles, and of course the anticipated fight scene with Ip Man. While the acting sequences were forgettable, the versus scene was great. Mike Tyson really shined as a boxing combatant, and held his own against Ip Man.
- Actor Jin Zhang, who plays Ip Man's main rival, is my highlight for this movie. He plays a practitioner of Wing Chun, but with an opposing moral compass to Ip Man. It was a joy to watch him lay the destruction to those who'd stand in his way, with remorseless efficiency. I recognized him from this movie, Spl II: Time for Consequences [Blu-ray], where he plays a formidable villain. Also in a smaller role, Jin Zhang appears in Grandmaster, The [Blu-ray] as well.
- Ip Man's wife, actress Lynn Hung, plays a greater/memorable role in this film.
- While not specifically named in character, a young Bruce Lee has a few cameos.
In conclusion, I felt Ip Man 3 was a good continuation/(final?) of the Ip Man story, as portrayed by Donnie Yen. The martial arts scenes, musical score, and visuals don't disappoint. And priced at $12.99 from Amazon at this time of review, I gladly pre-purchased it to show my support and appreciation of the film.
