Why do I think this is PEAK CINEMA?

The Star Wars universe is a never-ending one. The prequels showed the fans how the Galaxy was during the control of The Republic, and how Jedi ideals were corrupted through the years. The climax of this movie is on another level; it´s heart breaking, but you know everything that happened on The phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones lead to this conclusion. The fall of Anakin and rise of Darth Vader is sublime and so well made. The cinematography represents a beatuifull scenario filled with details; the performances make you feel the happiness, pain and sadness that these characters are experiencing. The muisic is powerfull and top-notch, a gift from the master Williams. As a fan, I love this movie, and it´s my favorite Star Wars one, but as a "Critic", I believe that the combination of all cinematopgraphic aspects into this movie makes it a masterpiece. Only death will stop my from saying that Revenge of the Sith is...PEAK CINEMA.
