Where to begin. Artistry in every element, chemistry obvious, magnitude of setting, choreography, and the sheer beauty, not to mention efficiency of movement. I know, sounds like a description of ballet, but it's extremely high action battle, plenty of moral fortitude, with humor and emotion where needed. As the actress, Jing Tian, who played the heroine role, quotes the director, Zhang Yimou, (in the bonus section, which was rewarding to enjoy) "If you feel it inside, your eyes will show it too." And her eyes were memorable from various scenes, especially at the end, and I won't give that away, but she obviously understood that counsel. Yeah, Matt was great as usual too.
