coming from a fan of the 1st 2 chapter of the lengendary comic, the movie was trying very hard to stay true to the comic. in fact, if you are familiar with the comic, alot of the scenes would make sense, way more sense than the 1st movie. But that also leads us to the disappointing part of most comic to movie translation which is the fact that they are trying to squeeze months/years of story telling, into a 2hr movie. And as we all know, never works. And that is why newcomers to the Feng Yun mythology, will never every fully grasp what and why things are happening the way it is, which is a real pity.
On a side-note, they really should display more of 排云掌 & 风神腿 as they are way cooler than the sword/sabre fights. At least in my mind they are! haha
