@Phreak Western AAA gaming does not get my money anymore. JRPGs all the way, but even then I am careful because of some companies getting influenced by the West (Looking at you Square)
Hey guys! I know it's been ages since I last posted anything here. I'm also a huge fan of Asian Cinema. I've watched both of the previous movies and they were a blast. If you are a fan of HK action movies, then I highly recommend it. For those of you who haven't heard of Ip Man, he is the grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chung and master of Bruce Lee. The movie itself is a biography based on his life.
The third instalment stars Mike Tyson and Danny Chan as a young Bruce Lee.
* The premiere of the film was released in Hong Kong on 16 December 2015, and officially released in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia on 24 December 2015. It opened in Taiwan on 31 December 2015, New Zealand and United Kingdom on 15 January 2016 and one week later in Australia. It was released in the United States on 22 January 2016, and will be released in mainland China on 4 March 2016.
Yen is brilliant, it's just too bad that he never attained this level of stardom until so late in his career. He came up with Jet Li, but he never got the chance to be as a big a star as Jet in his physical prime. Because of the demands on his body etc, he has said that this will be his last pure HK/martial arts film.
^ True. It's a shame that he wasn't always in a starring role during his younger days, he was usually casted in a supporting role or as the main villain. His fight scenes were always spectacular despite whatever role he played in a movie.
He has a fair amount of starring HK movies to his name actually. The problem with most of them, apart from the action scenes, is that they're terribly bad. It's like he has no clue on how to actually choose his projects. That said, they were still worth the watch just to see him. He just didn't break it big into the West which, quite honestly, I'm not upset about.
Hollywood has proven time and again that they have no idea what they're doing with HK cinema stars.
^ Very true. Despite being well known in Asia, he handful of movies that he had starred and were good are usually with veteran actors like Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung. I'm also happy that Hollywood didn't exploit him for his talents just like they had done with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. He did choreograph majority of the fight scenes in Blade 2.
Jackie, Sammo and Yuen Biao need to make one more movie together ^_^ (Dies happy then).
Anyway, I still have to see Ip Man 2, and the side story movies, which I don't think were from the same studio, but just cash-ins to the success of Ip Man. Then I'll get to this.
