Viewing Notes

Continuing my run of great films today I capped the day with Donnie Yen in Ip Man (2008), a film I’ve been wanting to see for a long time. Definitely lives up to the hype albeit taking a few liberties with the origin story. Really incredible fight choreography by Sammo Hung. Beautifully shot. Possible movie night candidate. 8/10
