Feelings

[kosmasp · 8/10 · 26 November 2014]

It's really a shame that any romantic drama gets put in the "soap" corner. You can put the cliché tag on almost everything obviously, but when it is shown with actors playing convincing characters as in this one, you should be able to differentiate. I haven't seen the "prequel" either, but the movie still makes sense and is nicely told. And as said, the actors are really good.

You should be aware, than different from US movies with a romantic touch (well most of them obviously, not all of them), you do get to see people having sex in this. Not explicit, but there are naked body parts that you will be exposed to. Why? Because it tries to keep it real and not give you just a romantic version of something that does not exist. Can you handle that?

Not as good as the first part

[milicalusimp · 6/10 · 9 August 2019]

When i heard there is the econd paart i was soo freaking happy. But when i wched it i was actually soo disappointed that it was actually sad. I would always watch the first part, but the second one never again!

We want another sequel

[dkdm-41812 · 8/10 · 9 September 2019]

This is a great sequel for the movie "three steps above heaven". One of the best romantic sequence I have ever watched. Acting by all the cast was more than adequate, but especially mario casas just nailed it. The chemistry was none like I have seen in movies of different langauge. Only drawback I felt is that, I think much of the story is still left and it feels one more movie could have just finished it with a bang. I know the orignal couple not ending together feels off and at the same time makes it unique. But come on hugo and babbi's chemistry was none like ever seen and the whole series is supposed to be on their love story. What ever people may say, a happy ending brings a smile on audience faces. I also feel katrina and hugo in the movie if involved romantically would have given a little more spice and an easy way for the production of a third film in the series or if not would have just made this a morw complete movie.

Could have a better ending

[satish-hs · 7/10 · 8 February 2014]

I would have preferred H having returned either having worked overseas or having completed his studies and then look up a job either with his brother or elsewhere. Moreover his silent love for Babi should have continued wherein Babi's parents finally realize that the boy has changed and make way for him to meet Babi to forget the past and reconcile and continue their loving life to really be Three metres above the heaven. Instead I observe H continues with his usual reckless life and ends up a loser. Finally what is H going to do in his life - no one knows. Good acting but could have had a better ending. After all Love conquers all.

regret watching this part

[vjatri · 6/10 · 22 May 2021]

I dont usually write reviews but I had to on this one. I really liked the first part as its ending was different from all the love stories we get to see on big screen and it was what happens most of the time "THEY DO NOT LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER" and it was acceptable but this movie, man it made me want to rip my eyes out. It was not necessary at all. If you've watched the first part and are trying to watch this, my advice is dont just please dont, you'd be doing yourself a favor.

Excellent movie that captured my emotions

[aram-05673 · 10/10 · 9 June 2015]

The first time I saw this movie was on TV...then I watched it 5 times again. Then I created subtitles for this movie on my own, just so I could show it to my friends. In short, I love this movie. Probably the best movie I have ever seen. Can I explain myself objectively and make arguments for why? No. This movie just left such an impression on me that I couldn't forget about it and watched it over and over. The drama, the romance, the acting, the flirting, the sadness...I just felt such an roller-coaster of emotions watching this movie and it hooked me from the first 5 minutes.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

Good movie

[vishalpalve-78253 · 7/10 · 2 November 2022]

'Three feet above heaven' Is a good movie n the sequel, I want you seems promising too.. Saw the original T. F. A. H. on youtube with English subtitles.. n it was good..!!

( I want you )can be remade in other language too.. can anybody provide with a lead for I want you movie english subtitles...?? The provider might be gifted in dollars...you can reach for me at vishal dot palve at gee male dot come or on face book too with the same .. Saw this movie in parts on U2 rockgroup music video( Iconic album) Achtung Baby n the song is Ultraviolet .. H with his character of reckless young man falling for( a elite family )young girl Babi has many shades to it..the good part is Babi falling for a bold man with an adventures way of lifestyle too.n how he takes Babi on a joyride which cannot be dreamt of by Babi forms the interesting most part of T. FA. H. with a twist in the end. The chemistry in between the lead characters is too good.

Very beautiful

[aleksandraskorup · 10/10 · 29 July 2021]

Second part is much better, and Hace with Gin are much beautiful couple.

I want you

[er_jose_a · 7/10 · 7 February 2013]

Tengo Ganas De ti (I Want You) (2012) This is the Sequel of Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo (Three Steps above Heaven), here you will find a different story because now they grow up and are living separate life , she has BF and hi a new girl, so this is about what happen after your first love. This is better than the first one because is more mature and the performances are more believable, but I have to say I didn't like the new girl too much. When I finished the film I start thinking that this movie is not exactly a love story about a couple, this is the love life of the male main character because here you have the new story of him with the new girl and he been hunting by the memories of his first love. This is definitely better than 3MSC and also very contemporary story.

Both movies have a real message at the end. 1- When something is broken it would never be the same. & 2- You need two committed people to make a relationship work.

Romantic drama plenty of emotion , thrills , fights and a triangular love story

[ma-cortes · 5/10 · 23 December 2016]

Mario Casas leads the cast of this sequel of ¨Three Meters Above The Sky¨ the story of two young people who belong to different worlds ; this one starts with the return of the misfit , impulsive , unconscious young man H (Mario Casas) , to his hometown where meets his mother (Carme Elias) and reconnecting with the past means struggle and also a new love (Clara Lago) who reluctant at first but finally falls in love for him . Meanwhile , ¨H¨ gets mixed up with some tough as well as bad guys and is embodied in endless fights and illegal motorbike races , the limit of common sense . Later on , ¨Hache¨ meets again Babi (Maria Valverde) , the girl from upper-middle class that was educated in goodness and innocence .

Sensitive as well as romantic drama is loaded with an enjoyable triangular love story , twisted situations and with a distinctly Spanish idiosyncrasy . It is the chronicle of a love improbable , almost impossible between two maladjusted young people : Mario Casas and Clara Lago but inevitable dragging in a frantic journey in which he discovers again his first great love : Maria Valverde . Although is full of predictability and cliché-ness the film results out to be pretty entertaining . It turns out to be pleasantly fun that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever ; an exercise in pure escapism in which entertainment and thrilling happenings are guaranteed .

Passable acting by Mario Casas as Hache , a rebellious boy who has an appetite for risk and danger , a ¨rebel without a cause¨ , in James Dean'style . This is Mario Casas's most important screen appearance in screen and pretty well Clara Lago as the beautiful dancer Gin . And agreeable and charming Maria Valverde as the innocent Babi . As shown in the film, H and Babi develop a relationship , well, the two actors developed a relationship of their own in 2010 , though it is known that the two broke up in September of 2014 . Ample support cast formed by newcomers who would have an acceptable and uneven career , such as : Ferran Vilajosana , Diego Martín , Nerea Camacho , Alvaro Cervantes of ¨Carlos I¨ series and Carlos Francino of ¨Victor Ros¨ series . Colorful and glimmer cinematography by Xavi Gimenez . Atmospheric and moving musical score by Manel Santisteban . And the advertisement including Christina Aguilera who looks amazing on the set for her music video for 'Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti' with Alejandro Fernández .

Being based on Federico Moccia bestseller book . Federico is a Best-seller writer and director , known for¨ Amore 14¨ , ¨Scusa Ma Ti Voglio Sposare¨ , ¨Tre Metri Sopra Il Cielo¨ (2004) or ¨Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo¨ (2010) and its sequel , ¨Tengo Ganas De Ti¨ (2012) . He also wrote several scripts as ¨Palla Al Centro¨ , ¨Ho Voglia Di Te¨ , ¨Classe Mista 3A¨ and ! Cannibal holocaust 2 ¡ . ¨Perdona Si Te Llamo Amor¨ . The motion picture was professionally directed by the Spanish filmmaker Fernando González Molina ("Three Steps Above Heaven") . He went on directing successes as the $13.5 million period drama "Palm Trees in the Snow" also with Mario Casas .

Estuvo Buena, Pero Pudo Estar Mejor

[mip-michelle · 9/10 · 19 July 2013]

Have it translated because I'm going to write this in English!

I loved the first part...but I wanted him to end up with Babi. Until now I knew that his name was Hache I thought they were calling him Axel! He's so hot!

The movie shows how sometimes it is not what it seems. He thought Babi was the one, until Gin showed up. But if Gin would have told him that Babi had called that night. And if he would have looked for her when he came from Londres or at least kept communication with her, so that she could see him changing, then they would have stayed together.

This is just one outcome...

Why oh why???😭😭😭

[WiseMan26 · 6/10 · 3 January 2020]

Why H not going back with Baby???😭😭😭 oh no, why does he has to be with Ginerva???shes not that beautiful and i dont like her character and i dont like this plot at all. The only things that i love in this movie is because this is a closure, because this is a forgiveness. Theres a scene of H with his mother lying in bed waiting to be passed away🤧🤧🤧i cant stand it, you need to bring more tissue if you want to watch this movie, so many sad scene and it touch my heart. But giving 6 stars only for not liking ginerva character. I think that H should go back with Baby...

Good start with an unbelievable ending

[larslersmacher · 2/10 · 27 September 2020]

It started really good but the end was just too much drama that it was too confuse and unbelievable.

One happening after another and one more drama story after another. Even dramas of persons who aren't important for the story. Just a strange and unnatural way to add more and more feelings of drama. At the end it was just stupid, silly and unnatural behavior.

Gin and H make a hot, if unpredictable couple...but I am still an H and Babi fan.

[cgvsluis · 7/10 · 13 September 2023]

Tengo ganas de ti (I want you) is the follow up film to 3 metros sobre el cielo (3 steps above heaven). H returns home from abroad more mature and while he settles in at his brothers place, he meets up with some of the remaining members of his old crew. He also meets Gin, a young free-spirited bohemian artist who lives with her brother and is very interested in H. H gets a job in a theater as assistant production crew and Gin ends up trying out for the production...just as things heat up between H and G, Babi arrives

Babi introduces a melancholy section to the film when what initially seems like a reunion becomes closure and leads to some devastating events.

The ending was decent, but overall the first film is better. Mario Casas and Clara Lago, have great chemistry as H and Gin and I did prefer their more mature connection, but the overall story between H and Babi was much more epic and film worthy.

I did like this more mature H and I love Mario Casas...but I am going to stick with the first film is better. I can recommend it to those romantics who are looking for closer between H and Babi.

Review is based on watching in it's original Spanish language with English subtitles.

Closer to reality than ever

[anatasheva · 8/10 · 26 July 2020]

Hugo meets Gin and the fairy tale with Babi ends (or the agony). As much as we want to see more more fairy tales on screen than we admit, love is worth fighting for and in reality it matters who actually care for you in difficult times. Babi was a real 'dogface' (first nickname that H gave her) but worse she's too comfortable with her 'perfect' life, new fiancé etc to fight for the real love she'd with H. I really feel sorry for her, her marriage will be more miserable than her mother's. Hugo finally meets the perfect talanted girl. Gin is absolutely opposite. She's a fighter from the beginning, lives alone with her younger brother, super talanted artist and photographer- she can dance, sing, paint. Gin is amazing and she's not afraid to live, love H and fight for her happiness! She's the winner and this the best ending I have ever expected!!!

great story

[mr_ram20 · 10/10 · 20 July 2022]

The direction of this movie is cool, connecting the parts of 3 steps above heaven very well. The friendships along with love are the best in this movie. A must-watch OG film for those who love -love stories. And these spanish girls are also cute.

Better than "a tres metros sobre el cielo" but...

[InakiArias · 5/10 · 12 July 2012]

If the first movie was an awful "rebel without cause" movie, what can you do if the main character is no longer a rebel? This is a redemption film and, to be honest, that kind of stuff gives the chance to introduce a lot of dramatic and cry making content. But this film has a problem that shares with the first movie, and it's that when the film tries to be serious is when it absolutely fails. Not the plot, neither the characters or the story itself have the capacity to make the spectator anything more than a laugh (you will find out yourself doing more than one face palm with some of the scenes of this movies).

The main character starred by Mario Casas is better in this film than in the first one. He has growed up and his personality is deeper. Mario isn't a superb actor, but he has charisma and he tries his best in order to show different sensations and the result is better than I expected.

Continuing with the girls, Clara Lago, a Spanish revelation who can be seen in a lot of movies in this last years has a great chance to show her acting skills with her character, Gin, but, I'm sorry, she doesn't make the cut. She isn't convincing in the most dramatic scenes, and, this is my opinion, she isn't as cute as some people is trying to convince us. Her character isn't believable at all. The other female main character, Babi, starred by Spanish star Maria Valverde is just, OK, average, well done. Maria makes a plain performance, with the automatic pilot enabled, but she's such a star that even without making an effort steals your attention.

In conclusion, this film is OK if you are only trying to watch a Barely entertaining film in which you can find a bit of romance, fight, friendship, adventure... but don't expect anything more. I should recommend it to every Spanish teenager girl who love Mario Casas and still dream with the bad-ass guy that can be changed with their love.

Great cinematography. Not much else.

[vivaciouscontent · 1/10 · 14 June 2018]

Whoever designed the color scheme of this film really nailed the romanticized aura of Barcelona. Too bad that's not all that a film's supposed to be because other than this aspect of the film, there's not much to it. All the key scenes are so forced, artificial, and cheesy as if a kid drew up the entire movie than a competent cinematographers rendered his cheesy-ass fantasies into fruition. If I were you, I'd stay clear away from films like this. Pure 130 minutes of disappointment.

Shallow soap

[kvatter · 2/10 · 11 February 2014]

Having not seen the prequel, I am basing my comments strictly on this film (which is as it should be). This was basically a 2 hour perfume ad. We are subjected to many lingering shots of pretty faces, model bodies and high fashion in an assortment of nicely lit night settings. The problem is that someone forgot to add a story. Well, there is a story but it has all the depth of a puddle. The characters are adults all trapped in their early teen minds strongly emoting over a series of nothings. This young person's soap opera has the play-book of clichés--boy pouts over lost love, can new girl win his torn heart or will he return to his old love?, another girl gets pregnant from a fling, a mother discovers her husband is cheating on her, another mother lies dying in a hospital, a motor race to settle scores.......you've seen it all before in better, shorter movies.

Nope !

[jack_o_hasanov_imdb · 5/10 · 18 August 2021]

After first film this was awful. After teenagerish story, this wasn't good.

This movie is bad.

Little bit of everything

[dafunmaker · 5/10 · 17 August 2017]

The movie has a little bit of everything such as love, secret affair, betrayal, friendship, family tragedy, and coming-of-age, but it lacks a central focus and thereby, at the end of the movie the viewer feels like "I would have guessed this easily" and "nothing much has happened since the start". A good and riveting movie should attract the viewer into the film on its own despite being a sequel. Yes, there is a story, but it is so predictable and slow-moving. Besides, the characters are not elaborated throughout the movie. Hugo, the protagonist seems to be in agony, but only because of losing his best friend or having been dumped by Babi, who seems to be too shallow as a character. They should have gone deeper on Hugo's character and built a solid character. Side-line stories like the family tragedy of Babi's parents serve no purpose and they seem to have stolen from the main story. Because of not dwelling on the main story between Hugo and the girl he just met, it is difficult, as a viewer, to feel the love among this couple. Despite these lacking points, it can be a good shot for romance- lovers.

Needed a little more work

[heliya-47201 · 4/10 · 22 June 2023]

I think we can all agree that babi&hache's chemistry is undeniable and was created in an unforgettable way in the three steps above heaven, but i have to add that i expected a better job in the follow-up movie being i want you 2012. I think actors did a marvellous job but the writing team could do better as for this couple and all characters and audience's hopes deserved a better ending. The second movie's problem is that it makes no sense to continue the movie series if you're just gonna ruin the good opinion and memories audience have of the first film.

However my opinion all flows could be forgotten if there would be a third movie offering a beautiful and happy ending in babi & h's love story.
