Synopsis:

From IMDb: “In postwar Hong Kong, legendary Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man is reluctantly called into action once more, when what begin as simple challenges from rival kung fu styles soon draw him into the dark and dangerous underworld of the Triads. Now, to defend life and honor, he has no choice but to fight one last time.”

Poster: D

Review: For a poster that’s supposed to entice people to a film about a legendary martial artist, this poster is action-deprived.

Trailer: C / C+

Review: If the poster isn’t very exciting, neither are the film’s two trailers. The first trailer tries to lay on the style, but is light on the details while the second trailer is a bit stronger on the details, but likewise ignores the better action elements of the film. Neither are terribly great sales tools.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
