Maybe the digital release just sucks but wow does this film look bad Regardless of the quality or frames/s it is just difficult to watch at parts Especially the first 10 mins or so are unwatchable thanks to the ghastly filter used Action was outrageous which I expected from Ip Man media so wasn’t surprised by some of the stupid stunts and moments that happened towards the end in particular

Not enough Sammo Hung. Yuen Biao was kept in the background. Dennis To literally looked like this the whole film: 🌝. Watching Ip Chun was a very lovely experience though, I must point out.
