Ip Man is adapted from the life story of Ip Man, the grand master of the Wing Chun style of kung fu and sifu (master) of legendary kung fu superstar Bruce Lee. The story of Wing Chun began in the 1920s and 30s, in wartorn China. Ip Man was martial art’s unyielding follower, devoted whole-heartedly to the free learning of wushu. The fight to be top between the Wushu schools in the southern and northern regions of China had not stopped him having goodwill matches with other practitioners. Nationalistic bad feelings and racial hatred had not lessened his respect for Japanese kung fu warriors. In this great era of hatreds and tragedies, Ip focused only on wushu. His enthusiasm for martial arts saw him having devastating straight fights with various elite practitioners.

That is the official plot of the story.Personally i dun like the movie, it let me down. I aspect it to me more of an action movie but it turn out to be a comedy. Way to many of the the actor voice over. I only ca give 5/10 for this movie.
Is been quite some time we haven't been to movie. As most of the time, we choose Friday night at One Utama. This time we are watching Eagle Eye, directed by DJ Caruso who directed movies like Disturbia and series like Smallville and Dark Angle. Main characters are Shia LaBeouf & Michelle Monaghan. Shia LaBeouf hit big in movie Tranformer & Disturbia 0n 2007 while Michelle is stared in Made of Honor & Mission Impossible III. I was exciting about this movie when i saw the trailer watching Death Race ( great movie also).
