I thought the fights looked badass and well choreographed. His writing is top-tier and surprisingly focused. I usually get lost with the plot in films like these, but fortunately as with most of Wong’s films the story is not the most important thing. From the gorgeous opening titles and the grandiose opening scene I was on board with this film. I am a big Wong Kar-wai fan though and he manages once more to subvert genre expectations. Personally, I don’t have much knowledge or interest in the martial arts subgenre, which is why I was amazed by how much I enjoyed this film. The acting is definitely high-caliber, like you would expect from a Wong Kar-wai film, and Zhang Ziyi is just dazzling. You could turn off the sound and still have a great experience, but don’t do it, because Frankie Chan’s score is a pleasure to listen to: engrossing, in the quiet scenes and epic, in the climactic scenes. Wong once again plays with slow motion, distorting the image, filming through glass and creating a dynamic and immersive picture. The Grandmaster looks stunning, courtesy of cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd’s incredible vision. Wong Kar-wai’s tenth feature film is a return to form for the Hong Kong auteur. His daughter, the beautiful Gong Er (Zhang Ziyi), is determined to avenge his father’s death, but of course to do so she’ll have to renounce a happy life with Ip Man. Meanwhile his newly appointed heir Ma San (Zhang Jin) turns out to be up to no good and kills this master. Ip Man’s peaceful life is threatened by Gong Yutian (Wang Qingxiang), a retiring martial arts master from the north, is doing anything but encouraging the friendship with the south. The Grandmaster chronicles the life of Ip Man Wing Chun (played by Tony Leung), in Foshan in the 1930s and his flight to Hong Kong after the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Strictly for die-hard fans.Watch The Grandmaster movie. It’s quite sad to see what could have been another classic Wong Kar-Wai movie-in-the-making turns out to be a disappointment. Popular Korean actress Song Hye-Kyo is sadly neglected in a thankless role (thanks to Wong Kar-Wai for cutting off most of her scenes in the editing room) as Ip Man’s wife, Zhang Yongcheng. Although he is charismatic enough, he fails to expand his Ip Man character with a satisfying emotional center other than looking cool or broods a lot. Apart from Zhang Ziyi’s exceptional performance, it’s rather surprising to see the usually-reliable Tony Leung Chiu-Wai doesn’t impress much as Ip Man. If that’s not insulting enough, the introduction of Chang Chen’s The Razor character feels vague and needless altogether. Another biggest problem here is the sudden change of focus from narrating Ip Man story to Gong Er story.
It’s understandable that Wong Kar-Wai’s movie is always fragmented but this time, THE GRANDMASTER is way uneven yet unfocused. The second half is hastily stitched together, while burdened by terribly inconsistent pace. As for the cast, Zhang Ziyi excels the most as the hotheaded, yet emotionally frustrating Gong Er.

On the plus side, the first half is particularly engaging. The rest of the technical credits are equally ace - ranging from its elaborate production design to its detailed costume design. Philippe Le Sourd and Song Xiaofei’s sumptuous cinematography is nice to look at, while beautifully framed Yuen Woo-Ping’s fight choreography with such balletic mix of slow motion and various camera speeds.
Likewise, Wong Kar-Wai is always meticulous when comes to distinctive visual flair. However, after finally watching it, I must say that THE GRANDMASTER turns out to be an overrated effort after all. Fast forward to 2013 (after a string of delays and whatnot), THE GRANDMASTER has came and gone with mostly favorable reviews and successful box office runs. When director Wong Kar-Wai first announced the project way back in 2002, I bet a lot of die-hard fans are eager to see how the critically-acclaimed art-house director is going to do a big-screen treatment of the legendary Ip Man. Wong Kar-Wai’s 10 years-in-the-making of the so-called Ip Man biopic is exquisitely photographed and blessed with some dazzling fight choreography, but THE GRANDMASTER is mostly a scattershot mess of unfocused direction.
