Donnie Yen & Wilson Yip decide to have a go at a FEARLESS style kung fu film, and choose Wing Chun master Ip Man as the character to represent. Since Ip Man's life wasn't really that interesting they make up a story, or basically steal the plot(s) of Fist Of Fury/Fist Of Legend and Fearless and rearrange them a bit. We forgive them for this because the result is a great film.

Production values are excellent, script and dramatic performances commendable, and - arguably most importantly - action scenes are superlative. A highly satisfying end product.
