I had already seen Ip Man 4, so it was interesting to see how the film differs in its depiction of racism. It was more subtle and insidious in 4, but the overt hatred in 2 was no less infuriating.
He’s got a point about movies growing on people, of course. However, a movie’s opening weekend is most likely going to be its biggest. Also, it’s generally agreed that Ares is terrible, this isn’t the kind of film people will look back on in ten or twenty years and think “this is actually a hidden gem!”
