Ip Man was good but not amazing. I kindof got what that movie delivers from Fearless, though Ip Man is far more subdued. One of my main issues with it was that though it was grounded in reality, it took large liberties with the real Ip Man’s history. Also, none of the fight scenes were particularly compelling, as he kindof wipes the floor with everything he comes up against.

Ong Bak was more tongue in cheek than I expected, but my main problem with it was that the choreography during the fights wasn't all too good, and both the plot and characters were incredibly 2D. Also it was pretty obvious how everything would go down from the start.

My personal top 3 is still:

1. Fearless
2. The Raid
3. Enter The Dragon

I'll see if any of the other movies I listed yesterday will supplant any of those.

Okay, that was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dumb - but it could have been far worse.

I stick with my original, misinformed vote of "it was okay".

(spoilers)
WHAT THE TWIST!?

Sigh.

Update:
I have now lost pretty much all interest in House of Flying Daggers as the movie quickly became "The Continuing Improbable and Unbelievable Adventures of a Blind Woman"

Will see it through, but I have no clue why.

Apparently I was thinking of Hero instead of House of Flying Daggers. Checking it out now - seems interesting thus far (10 mins in).

Also on my list:
Ip Man
Ong-Bak
The Legend of the Drunken Master
Merantau (from the dude who directed The Raid)
Dragons Forever
The Shaolin Temple
