6/10
Decent Enough IP Man Spin Off
14 March 2019
IP Man's opponent in the last movie moves to a new place in Hong Kong and runs a grocery store with his son. He has stopped teaching and practicing Wing Chun but he soon finds himself on the wrong side of a local drug/mafia gang and has to utilize his skills again.

I didn't have high hopes for this especially after reading the reviews but I watched it so I could leave a genuine review for others. It turned out to be actually quite good apart from a few of the minors character's acting skills were a bit painful but I managed to overlook that. It was a kind of generic Honk Kong, Kung fu, by the numbers movie but even though it was 1 hour 47 minutes long I didn't find it boring.

I think it has the right balance of fight scenes and drama and the story is engaging enough. The presence of Dave Bautista definitely helped breathe more life into it. I feel it's a genuine 5-6/10 so don't pay any attention to the 1 star ratings and reviews.
