I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Wing Chun is an entertaining combination of slapstick humour and amazing martial arts fights. It's a romantic comedy at heart, one with a feminist bent. The story, while simple, features several memorable characters. There are setpiece battles that move the story along. Most of these feature Michelle Yeoh as the charismatic and beautiful Yim Wing Chun. Yuen Woo-ping's fight choreography is as usual inventive. He included moves that are quick and fresh, many of these aren't featured in other films. Donnie Yen's unusual turn as Leung Pok To, a man who has come to town to wed Yim Wing Chun is also of note. All in all, there's enough character development, humour, fights, and good scenery here to make Wing Chun one of the best martial arts films ever. It's not quite as good as the director's other famous film Iron Monkey (1993), but it's still a delight. Where else can you find actresses this good-looking and fights this exciting? Come to think of it, Peking Opera Blues (1986) probably influenced Yuen Woo-ping's filmmaking. I easily recommend seeing Wing Chun.

Wing Chun surprises with its fast pace and excellent physical comedy. Fight scenes are also convincing. The entire setting is not very original, but amusing and that is what really counts. There were ultimately moments when the film feels a bit messy, but in all wire- and stunt-work has been done wonderfully and cleanly.The characters are all rather likable. The bad guys are rather faceless, but not a big disappointment. The soundtrack has a classic 80s sound to it which makes the movie stand out in a nice campy way.The film isn't really a drama or action film, but rather a fast-paced slapstick. A fun experience and an admirable Kung Fu flick.

First of all, ''Wing Chun is a system of Chinese martial arts with an emphasis on close-range striking and interception and low kicks. (It also features the use of weapons)'''. So, the name of the movie is part of because of Michelle's Yeoh character and part of because the martial arts she practices. And I really like this Chinese movie with a simple story, since it is very delightful to watch, and we have Michelle before she coming the big celebrity she is now. ( And known as ''Michelle Khan'')Wing Chun, is a woman living in a remote village attacked by robbers and thieves all the time. She helps to protect the city and is very well known because of that, but since she lives in a male-based society she has many problems with men and love in general. One day, assassins kidnaps one of her friends, and she goes after them to save her.This movie has a lot of action and a lot of humor. :) Impossible not to like!

I read people's comments on this movie and decided to watch it. I had no high expectations, but this movie just wasn't worth seeing.It could probably have been better if you were Chinese, most of the dialogue and jokes are not fairly translated or even possible to translate into English (to get the correct meaning).So what I don't understand is that there seem to be so many non-Chinese people liking it. It doesn't make sense.My rating: Much below average... My advice: Don't watch it!
