Ip Man 3 Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
September 1, 2025
My quick rating - 7.7/10. Even if you are not a fan of so-called "kung fu movies," this is the type of film that will make you see past the punches and poor dialogue. The film is basically a tutorial in fight scene choreography from start to finish. Each move and counter is so perfect in both the physical action and the camera work to bring it to the audience's eyes. Even with all the fighting going on, there is a story about an aging martial arts master of Wing Chun who is forced to stop a band of brutal gangsters led by a crooked property developer making a play to take over the city. This, of course, leads to the ensuing fights to try and keep the town safe. Within this plot is a subplot that ends the movie as well, when an unknown comes to aid Ip Man, only to challenge him for the title of master. The version I watched had horrible subtitles, but even still, some of the conversations made enough sense to see there were points about Western police and going against the government. So, yes, there was also an underlying theme to his movie. But let's be honest, we are watching to see Master Ip (played superbly again by Donnie Yen) subtly beat the crap out of everyone. Even in one scene given a fight where he is not allowed to punch 10 opponents, he is still able to keep them at bay. The fights all vary in style, with the most unique but not necessarily technically the best, a fight to the end, 3 minutes timed with none other than Mike Tyson. Each fight sequence really is just poetry on the screen and must be seen. I personally have been looking forward to this sequel for a long time, and I must say it has been worth the wait. Definitely worth seeing, and I know I will be viewing it again. (Since I reviewed in 2016, I have seen it again twice)

[Yen's] performance is glorious, the actor embodying this martial arts legend with grace, dignity, passion and charisma to burn.
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
'Why am I crying at the awesomeness of this fight?' Because it's art. Martial arts produce the same response as that 'Marriage of Figaro' aria in 'The Shawshank Redemption.'
Salt Lake City Weekly
Scott Renshaw
It's kind of a shame that this series feels so determined to stick to the facts of real-life kung fu grandmaster Ip Man (Donnie Yen), because it's a lot more fun when it's a good old-fashioned martial-arts free-for-all.
Sacramento News & Review
Daniel Barnes
Pretty much the same plot as The Trial of Billy Jack, but we'll allow it-if Ip Man 4 turns out to be an indirect remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, then the jig is up.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
Tyson is onscreen for only a few minutes, but that's long enough for a fists-vs.-feet battle with the title character that recalls, in its celebrity sports gimmickry, Bruce Lee's bout with basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 'Game of Death.'
Variety
Maggie Lee
Less offensively nationalistic than the second installment but falling short of the glowing humanity, genial Cantonese humor and visual flair of the first, the pic is somewhat tarnished by its pedestrian plot and limp characterization.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Yen is appealing, the story moves right along, and the martial arts sequences are (to my untrained eye) impressive. In short, a good enough conclusion to the Ip Man saga.

Odie Henderson
"Ip Man 3" is pretty much what you'd expect, but there's something extra special about an action movie that ends not on a moment of triumph but one of introspection.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Early in "Ip Man 3," Yip is visited by a young Bruce Lee, and Yip decides he's not ready for training. But if it led to an "Ip Man 4," who'd complain?
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
The only real spark in the film is provided by Yen's costar Zhang Jin as Cheung Tin-chi, an upstart devotee of the wing chun school intent on knocking Ip off his hallowed throne atop Hong Kong's martial-arts pantheon.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Despite Mr. Yen's impressive physical virtuosity, his stoic, often humorless presence tends to neutralize the emotional temperature.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
"Ip Man 3," set in Hong Kong circa 1959, combines the customary, inventively choreographed action with an unexpected emotional depth, proving as hard to resist as its entertaining predecessors.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
There have been all kinds of Ip Man movies. "The Grandmaster," which played in Seattle in 2013, has exquisitely lovely visuals. "Ip Man 3" has Mike Tyson.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Doesn't quite rise to the dizzying heights of the first two films, but then again, this will almost certainly be your only chance to see Mike Tyson go up against Donnie Yen.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
Be open to the film's emotion. It packs a bigger punch than anything else here.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
Any movie that features Donnie Yen going up against Mike Tyson with fight choreography designed by Yuen Woo-Ping at least has a sense of humor about itself. But Ip Man 3...is far more than this burst of stunt casting and pop-culture cool suggests.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
The carelessly plotted story consists mostly of setups for fight scenes, nicely staged in such distinctive locations as an elevator, an umbrella store and the hull of a partly built ship.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The bright idea of the first Ip Man was to use a real person's life as the rough outline for a conventional martial arts adventure. That basic premise still has some juice left, given that it's always a joy to watch Yen work.
Slant Magazine
Sam C. Mac
Donnie Yen's performance is so good that it's a shame Wilson Yip's films have never strived to be more than briskly entertaining hagiography.
