It was unfortunate that, like other sequels, Ip Man 2 fell short of what the prequel had offered, largely because people tend to expect alot more from the second-parter should the former do well. While it didn't wow, the fighting scenes were still marvellous to the last minute; crap, just hire Sammo Hung if you want great moves. Hung impressed with his clean moves and emotional scenes, despite the fact that he was a little on the hefty side and looked all parts of a serious guy. When his character died halfway through (oops spoiler!), I was hit by a nascent bout of tears to watch the man collapse under the merciless blows of a peabrain boxer. Gah I need to cry. Anyway we all know the cliched ending, don't we? Anyway news has been flying around regarding the casting for Ip Man 3. My stand: get Jay Chou to play Bruce Lee and I swear I'll lead a boycott team. Just listen to Donnie Yen and stop cashing in on this Ip Man mania.
