My Comments: After our dinner here at 1 Utama with my brother Alan, we have decided to watch The Legend Is Born: IP Man. Unfortunately we did not get a place in GSC and eventually we manage to find a seat at TGV in 1 Utama. We watch here and the environment here was not so nice compared to GSC as the seat is not so comfortable as well. With the situation, we manage to get the seat as the cinema is not full too. Let's go straight to the movie comments. This movie was a great movie to watch and as you know, it should be a Chinese martial arts movie. This movie combines love, martial arts and some jokes in it that makes this movie great. But if you compared with IP Man 2 and this movie, IP Man 2 still the best. But for me, since I haven't watch IP Man 2, I would rate this movie great as the storyline was rather interesting as well and easy to understand. But for my brother, it was otherwise. He told alexleow-kimmy.com that this movie is just so-so compared to IP Man 2. Well, I would recommend you to watch this movie if you are a fan of IP Man. This movie although lacking of something (as said by Alan), still this movie is a must watch for you guys as the martial arts was fantastic and amazing. Enjoy this movie and you will never regret! :) MY RATING: 5/5 ; ALAN RATING: 4/5
