Ip Man: Cheung Tin Chi

As a spin-off to Ip-Man, it's okay, but it falls short of the trilogy starrging Donnie Yen, though Max Zhang is a worthy stand-in. Story-wise, it's a classic Hong Kong cliché, but thanks to the solid cast and the decent action, it doesn't downright matter. Max Zhang has been a favourite of mine since Kill Zone 2 and has only scored points since then. It was also a pleasure to see Michelle Yeoh after a while, Tony Jaa is here more for promotion but has a solid fight, I also enjoyed Yu Xing who also doesn't get lost in the fights, and the surprise is Dave Bautista, who is a terrible actor, but the final fight is unexpectedly more than solid. Occasionally the obvious wires hurt, but it's been a while since a proper martial art film has come out, so I'm happy. 75% (21.03.2019)
