Seriously, if not always elegantly, the film portrays the great Ip Man as someone trying to survive, which is to say just as often a victim as a victor.
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Overview
Ip Man reluctantly begins a series of challenges from rival kung fu schools and is soon drawn into the dark and dangerous world of the Triads.

Rotten
Soap opera, set-bound and unexceptionally written and directed.
Soren Anderson, Seattle Times
Rotten
The naturalism of Wong's performance is undercut ... by Yau's use of phony-looking sets, sterile CGI and flashy aerial shots.
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post
Rotten
The overall sense is of a rushed, simplistic installment in a well-worn biography franchise.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The Final Fight plays out like a collection of greatest-hits vignettes barely connected to one another.
