Great story with an excellent screenplay, perfect choreography, with directing on point! This is the only film of the three I've seen so far that was dubbed in English, so today I learned it's pronounced Ip, not I.P. as in Internet Protocol of which I've been calling the Master lol.
Plot summary
Ip Man 2 is a 2010 Hong Kong biographical martial arts film loosely based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun. A sequel to the 2008 film Ip Man, the film was directed by Wilson Yip, and stars Donnie Yen, who reprises the leading role. Continuing after the events of the earlier film, the sequel centers on Ip's movements in Hong Kong, which is under British colonial rule. He attempts to propagate his discipline of Wing Chun, but faces rivalry from other practitioners, including the local master of Hung Ga martial arts.

I liked the first Yip Man better than the second movie they did. While still good (and very nice fight scenes/sequences),it lacks a bit of the Original. What I really wasn't that much into was the patriotism it portrays. It is a bit too much for my taste. I think it could have been handled in a more subtle way.
A great addition to the series (I think another movie is going to be made) is Sammo Hung of course. And the fact that the main player(s) returns. Yip Man (as you have seen and read at the end of part 1) was the master that trained Bruce Lee after all. And maybe that's the main reason the bar is so high (apart from the fact that the first movie was that good).

Yen and Hung
It's 1950 Hong Kong. Ip Man (Donnie Yen) is restarting his school and trying to establish his Wing Chun style. It's a slow start. Wong Leung becomes his first student. Life is tough and money is tight. Ip Man finds himself in conflict with rival Master Hung (Sammo Hung) who is connected to corrupt local Fatso and his British masters.
There is a great Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa relationship in this movie. There are some overly dramatic villains in this movie but some of it can be excused. Anybody familiar with the fight game have seen overly dramatic testosterone-fueled drama. Even though he screams too much, I'm fine with Twister's craziness. Quite frankly, I would cut out Ip Man's final speech and have him walk away with dignity. There is some over-the-top unnecessary melodrama.. The best is the rivalry between Ip Man and Master Hung. Sammo Hung is simply great. The two veterans are the beating heart of this movie. As for the action, there is some good stuff but interestingly, the fights against Twister show that the Chinese fighters being weaker than him. They're put in a standard underdog sports movie.
