Ip Man 4: The Finale is apparently going to be the last time Yen dons the familiar black cassock to play Ip Man, and Yip orchestrates a fittingly spectacular finish to the saga. Read full review

There is no mystery about who wins the movie’s final bout, but it is never less than thrilling to watch Yen’s fluttering limbs in action. Read full review

While not as strong, or nuanced, an entry as any of the three that preceded it, Yen once again proves at 56 to be something of an ageless wonder. Read full review

Ip Man 4: The Finale is a thrilling end to the Ip Man saga. The action is fast-paced, and the fighting is poetic. The story not only brings a modern twist to the legend but is just as relevant today as it was in the 70s. Read full review

Mike D'Angelo

So it feels quite ironic that Ip Man 4: The Finale wraps up the parent series with a movie that’s comparatively weak in the kung fu department but atypically solid at killing time between set pieces. The highs are lower than usual, the lows higher. It all goes down smooth. Read full review

Simon Abrams

The sturdy but shallow martial arts melodrama Ip Man 4: The Finale isn’t much more than what fans have already gotten from the popular action franchise. Read full review

Given that a fair amount of creative licence has been exercised here, it is strange that Bruce Lee has such a small part to play. Read full review

The fight scenes in this movie are well choreographed, those against Wan, Colin and Barton are quite memorable. The story is pretty unimaginative though.

Ip's son gets kicked out of school and Ip man goes to America to find a school that will take him. The racism in the movie doesn't always takes the guise of a Karate vs. Kung Fu (Wing Chun). It's however quite over the top and at times more than just a bit offputting.
Donnie Yen's performance as Ip Man is top notch as usual. They could have done more with the Bruce Lee character though.

Overall you just might want to watch this again for the fights, you'll have to put up with the racist story to get there.… Expand

Ip Man 4 is a top-notch action experience stifled by extreme socio-political preaching and leftist ideology. Ip Man, played by Donnie Yen, is great as always, and new characters are welcome, interesting, and animate, but one cannot be helped to escape the hyper-political black hole thatIp Man 4 is a top-notch action experience stifled by extreme socio-political preaching and leftist ideology. Ip Man, played by Donnie Yen, is great as always, and new characters are welcome, interesting, and animate, but one cannot be helped to escape the hyper-political black hole that sucks much of the fun out of the movie. You will find yourself cheering for Ip Man one moment and then wincing in disgust at the next. This makes it a disappointing and bittersweet conclusion for our final journey with Ip Man and company.… Expand

I liked the first two movies. I don't remember IP Man 3 but I don't think I liked it as much. But this movie was complete trash. I couldn't finish watching it.

I don't remember IP Man 3 but I don't think I liked it as much. But this movie was complete trash. I couldn't finish watching it. It started going down hill with the really dumb fight scene with Bruce Lee and the American guys. It was so dumb and cheesy. I get they were tring to show how it can be hard for immigrants. I was trying to give this movie a chance.. But then one of the most forced and cringy scenes happened right after. This chinese girl who is a cheerleader got bullied by these American kids. I get it American's bad lol I'm Canadian and understand the importance of immigrants. I also understand it can be hard for them. But the message in this movie felt really forced and poorly executed. It made me role my eyes over and over. Make a good movie and have some of those underlining messages but don't make it so forced and obvious. It's not why I wanted to watch this movie. I paid to rent it and didn't even bother finishing this garbage. The people who wrote the script show a lack of intelligence. This movie wasn't just woke and preachy. It had terrible dialogue and really dumb scenes in it. If you're going to try to push a serious message why do it with such stupidity?… Expand
