Blades of the Guardians

It's like they're saying, "You guys already know the story, so here's a SUMMARIZED live-action with many changes."

After reading the manhua (until vol. 10) and watching the 1st season of anime, there are LOTS OF CUTS, TONS OF CHANGES, extra scenes not in the original, and scenes combined in the movie. For example:
1. The 1st scene where Dao ma was beating the "goons" and going to the area where corpses were hanging on top are combined, but in the original material these are 2 different scenes.
2. The Tokharian mercenaries are almost always masked and terrifying; it's kind of their signature. But here the leader of the mercenaries just shows up unmasked and stays unmasked in battle, which just feels numb. And almost got beaten by Dao Ma and Shu! THEY DIDN'T EVEN FOUGHT IN THE ORIGINAL.
3. There are always strong female soldiers with Chief Mo in the original. But in the movie, even though there are some female soldiers, most of the time there's a black man named Malih as his bodyguard, which I've never seen in the original.
4. The whore Yan Ziniang never showed any interest towards women in the original. But in the movie she suggested "serving" both Dao Ma and Ayuya.
5. "Shu—The Jade Faced Ghost" is usually less talkative and more serious and doesn't deliberately make a plan to start fighting with Dao Ma after they joined the stagecoach in the original. But here he's just somewhat talkative and almost non-serious/smiling from the beginning. And makes a plan to kill/arrest Dao Ma suddenly and gets awfully humiliated.
6. In the original, Chief Mo directly told his people face-to-face to leave the land to save themselves and their own families. Some refused to go on their own and decided to stay & fight alongside to protect the land out of loyalty. This was a sad+brave moment in the original. But in the movie, there's like literally no emotions. Chief Mo ordered Malih to tell the people to leave, especially the women & children; those who wish to stay may stay. That's it.

And the list can GO ON AND ON AND ON...

I mean, I get it; it's a movie with limited runtime, and you can't fit all the chapters of manhwa, but it feels so weird and frustrating. The tension & the thriller of the original scenes are basically all absent. They spent too much on action sequences (some are very nonsensical) instead of the story.
I don't even understand the reason to make this movie. There's already an ongoing anime adaptation. which shows more respect to the original source material even with some cuts.
