The Grandmaster - DVD

The way the Director and Music Supervisor intertwine the fight scenes and music is unreal. Every fight is maxed out with copious amounts of audio mixing. My friends own this because of my recommendations.

A beautifully crafted and technically excellent film with superb action, compelling characters and a thoroughly engrossing story. Unlike many martial arts movies from Asia, this is a high-quality production that displays real emotion not just punch and kick. And even though a good deal of the fighting scenes clearly go beyond the realm of believability and reality, they are so well presented, so gorgeous, that one doesn't snicker or care. The soundtrack and cinematography are also exquisite adding to a highly enjoyable experience. Tony Leung is a commanding, charismatic on-screen force and it's a wonder why his female co-star is not tearing it up in Hollywood films, she is that good. I'd easily rate it as one of the top 5 movies in this genre to come down the pike in years.

Another look at ip Man's life in china after forty with passing of the torch of grandmaster among the martial clubs of the region. Compelling storyline I think the typical Fu Flick enthusiast will like this film. No really an action ( fight) film although it does contain some good fight choreography. Wanna see that, get the Sammy Hung movies following the subject of Wing Chung.

I have enjoyed foreign films in the past but especially like this one due to its artistic flare. There have been plenty of stories about Bruce Lee's legendary martial arts teacher, Yip Man, but probably none as artistic. Worth watching. Definitely worth the money.

The Grandmaster is among one of the best kung fu film produced. I highly recommend it, It takes a little more to understand it. Action wise, I do not see many rivals.
