The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Another modern adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet" with action located in Barcelona, this being the Spanish version of the Italian film "Tre metri sopra il cielo". An impetuous boy (read bandit), through his despicable behavior, causes a high society girl to fall in love with him.Although today's love relationships are perverted (in this case, relationships among teenagers), this film takes it to a new level such is the stupidity of behaviors. So a bully steals a girl's wallet - from Katina, a minor character - and she falls in love with him? The main character (Babi) is persecuted, offended, mistreated, almost suffers a provoked traffic accident, sees her best friend be beaten and then falls in love with the aggressor Hugo? I'm not saying it's impossible, but portraying it as normal is not normal. Yet for a movie with adolescents as the target audience, what models of behavior are we transmitting them? I admit that I did not like any character although I can empathize a little with the revolt and fury demonstrated by Hugo because of his background, but the characterization of this fury is too excessive and unrealistic. Dislocated and incoherent behavior throughout the film by all the characters, but I suppose it is also a true portrait of our day: we are all lost and we do not know what we want, adolescents or adults.Despite a decent direction and loose performances, I cannot give it more than 3/10 due to the message it conveys, which is: be stupid and you will live a great love story, even if it is doomed from the start. I would give 2/10 to this movie, but at least in the end Hugo seems to have a kind of slight epiphany that will hopefully change his temperament, the only positive message in the film, hence the extra point for 3/10. We'll see how things go in the sequel "Tengo ganas de ti".

What I don't understand is at what point do they start to love each other? This is not real love that makes you feel warm inside. This is a piece of s***. They are both drop dead gorgeous, they look at each other and Babi forgets whatever bullshit he did to her just because he's drop dead gorgeous and they fall in love only because they are beautiful. Honestly I was watching this and I thought, they must have skipped some months because these guys have nothing in common, nothing to bond over. We didn't see any meaningful dialogue between them. At WHAT POINT, and WHY are they deeply in love? This movie is immature love at the most. I'm 16 but I just think at 18-21 people are more mature and should have deeper relationships? Maybe i would have liked this movie when i was 10. It's like a very young teens/child fantasy because it has no basis on reality or true love (sorry I keep mentioning this).Watch this movie if you want to kill brain cells. I liked the music at the start star for that. And it was entertaining, I didn't get bored (maybe at the end).

I got this movie recommended for me, more than once, so I had high expectations. It started out with a guy insulting a girl - and of course you already know they are going to fall in love. But at that same moment, when you see the girl with a shy smile on her lips, as her car drives away - that is one of the first, of many, big mistakes this movie does. Justifying and encouraging such treatment - to insult someone in order to "get her".This movie justifies men treating women with no respect what so ever, the main character, Hugo, harassed the girl, Babi, more times than I can count, without any reason. This treatment kept on going, even after they became a couple. And Bebi kept running back to him two seconds later, whatever 'big' mistake he did. One second they were broken up, and the next they were kissing again.Tres metros sobre el cielo provides terrible gender behavior and roles for both men and women. It reinforces the stereotypes of men being violent, cold, emotionless, brutal and disrespectful, and it portrays women as weak, indecisive, extremely emotional and incredibly dependent. I don't even know where to start, I could write a whole book about this movie and how it reinforces the gendered stereotypes we already have, and what kind of message it sends out to young teenagers - who I guess are the main audience for this movie.One of the few good things I can say about it was the beautiful photography, it was thoughtful, lovely and very artistic. The actors were doing a good job as well, but their characters and the script was very, very bad.I will not recommend this movie to anyone - but probably rant about how bad it was, and how disappointed it made me. I kept waiting for a twist, a twist that somehow would make all the behaviors and the treatment justified, but it never came.. Please don't waste your time on this movie.

What a Movie. What a Story. Nevertheless, a tragic ending but I found it kept me at the edge of my chair wanting to know what is going to happen next. The English sub titles assisted me very much to understand the movie perfectly and the perfect way the main star cast moves about in the entire story.I saw this movie and the second part a few days earlier and literally had my eyes moist. Tragic ending for both the movies is truly disappointing. Just as the earlier reviewer mannin11(Bahamas) has stated in the review dated 22-oct-2011the story is about a rough and tough guy and a well bred decent girl. H too belongs to a well to do family though, for whatever reasons, he opted for this reckless life. Ultimately, something does touch him that brings him closer to Babi who doesn't understand anything about him but thinks H to be a usual guy looking around for someone to fool around with. Her innocence and frank childish behavior bites through H who seems to fall in love with her. I get a feel that H truly understands love only when he deflowers Babi and then tries to woo her with favors and the sorts. In my view H expects only love in his life. Rest of it comes secondary. His tragedy in losing his mother to the man she loves and living with her boyfriend rather than with her own family is something that disturbs him a lot and leads him to more frantic search for true love. This love it appears he finds in Babi who finally reciprocates though I would say is only puppy love when H is madly in love with her. The expression on his face and attitudes when Babi is disturbed or troubled by anything has been caught very well. Truly Mario will become a great star in future. For H action speaks louder than words and that is not disliked by almost all.I also saw the second part which brought in more moistness to my eyes. I was truly expecting H and Babi to reunite forgetting the past and forgiving all misgivings. They do come closer but the same height in that love does not seem to reach. Moreover, the sub titles in English language are very poor and bad hence could not understand the dialogs well. I disliked the story of H getting connected to Gin who actually stands no class when compared to Babi. In the second part both show immense maturity. Though H still continues to have a lot of love for Babi, still she doesn't seem to be able to convey back the same. H is still hurt but still continues. In fact, I would have been happier to watch H of now taking his life more seriously and taking up a job or completing his studies. What he was doing in London for two years is anyone's guess. Time wasted is time gone. If at all H really loved Babi, (he does know) but he should understand better and try to come up to her expectations irrespective of whether she finally accepts him or not.I am requesting IMDb and other officials if they could contact the story writer, producer and director of these two movies if they could come out with a third part wherein H and Babi finally reunite and become one forever. After this is what Love stories are all about – that they live happily ever after.Love conquers all. So goes the saying. And I would love to see such an ending. In case it is ever made please e-mail me this information and I shall somehow download the same and watch it. Oh, yes, and please ensure good English sub titles.I also saw Mario's another movie "UNIT 7" with excellent sub titles in English and here too Mario has performed well as Detective Angel. Good Acting and keep going kid.Thanks,
