“u0026#39;IP MAN 3u0026#39;: Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMartial arts biopic sequel, to 2008u0026#39;s u0026#39;IP MANu0026#39; and 2010u0026#39;s u0026#39;IP MAN 2u0026#39;. All three films chronicle the life of legendary grandmaster Yip Man (also known as Ip Man); who is famous for introducing the martial art Wing Chun, to China (and the world). This installment was once again directed by Wilson Yip (who also helmed both other movies); and it was written by Edmond Wong, Tai-Li Chan and Lai-yin Leung (Wong and Chan also co-wrote the first two flicks). Donnie Yen also returns to play the title role (for the third time). The movie also features Jin Zhang, Lynn Hung, Mike Tyson and Kwok-Kwan Chan (as Bruce Lee). Chan also played Lee in the 2008 TV series u0026#39;THE LEGEND OF BRUCE LEEu0026#39;, and a 2010 film (of the same name). u0026#39;IP MAN 3u0026#39; is definitely not as good as itu0026#39;s predecessor (which many consider even better than the original film), but it is a fun martial arts flick. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story, this time, deals with a ruthless American property developer, named Frank (Tyson); whou0026#39;s trying to gain control of a Hong Kong school, in 1959, that Ip Manu0026#39;s son attends. Ip (Yen), of course, comes to the schoolu0026#39;s defense. He also must deal with his wife (Hung) becoming ill, with stomach cancer, and a new Wing Chun grandmaster challenger (Zhang). A young martial arts student, named Bruce Lee (Chan), also wants Ip to train him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie has some pretty impressive martial arts fight scenes; I also especially enjoyed the battle between Donnie Yen and Mike Tyson. Tyson actually makes a good menacing villain; considering he didnu0026#39;t have to say much (that was a very wise move, of the filmmakers). Other than the action, the movie doesnu0026#39;t have a lot to offer; I donu0026#39;t feel like I actually learned much about Ip Man, and the story is kind of a mess. u0026#39;IP MAN 2u0026#39; is a much better movie, but this one isnu0026#39;t bad.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch our movie review show u0026#39;MOVIE TALKu0026#39; at: https://youtu.be/n2qWxeZ0Tck”
