I haven't had a chance to see these Ip Man movies, but I did watch The Grandmaster, which is also based on Ip Man's life. It stars Tony Leung as Ip Man, and is directed by Wong Kar Wei. Like all of Wong's films, it was absolutely beautiful to watch, and Leung's performance was wonderful. Zhang Ziyi also has a supporting role.

I went into the movie knowing nothing about the subject, and was completely astonished by the epilogue--I had no idea that it was based on the life of a real man!
