This movie is worthless propaganda for the militant police state that is 21st century China. This post will probably be cited if I ever try to visit China, but so what? The Ip Man name should never have been applied to this trash.
Apparently the Chinese government desperately needs a heroic mythology to rival what is offered by the West by way of Greece, Rome, Scandinavia, Tolkien, and Marvel/DC Hollywood. So they're exalting Ip Man to cop superhero.
Donnie Yen is the real deal. He ain't in this mess.
