Ip Man 2 Review (Awesome, Good, Not Bad, Pass, Boring or Lame?)

Yet again, the new sensation of kung fu fighting, Ip Man returns with a sequel, Ip Man 2.

*Spoilers alert*

Went to watch it yesterday and it was awesome!

People said that Ip Man 2 isn't as good as the first, but I think that it still has the edge. Ip Man 2 is not as simple as Ip Man 1, but it is as dramatic as the first. The environment is different though. The first featured Ip Man struggling during the Japanese Occupation on China but the second featured the suppression of the British upon Hong Kong and also the Chinese martial arts.

It has a whole new set of story and also a whole new set of environment.

It's not inferior, it's different.

And being different can be awesome!

If you are Chinese, this movie will make you feel proud to be a Chinese.

If you are not a Chinese, this movie still rocks!!

So go catch this movie while you still can!

Thankfully, Ip Man 2 did not fall into the category of movies labeled, "The sequel sucks!" which a lot of movies usually do.

My rating: Awesome!
