The Fast and the Frious Blu-ray Trilogy
Although I haven't watched all three movies that come with this, I thought I would provide my initial impression for those who are on the fence about whether to get this or not. I already have all three movies on DVD, so I was reluctant to buy the trilogy on Blu-ray, since my experience with Blu-ray is that the difference between it and a DVD isn't worth the extra amount you pay to have a movie on Blu-ray. Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of The Fast and the Furious movies and noticed that if you bought these three movies in the trilogy on DVD it would cost more, so it seemed like a good deal.While the price is definitely a bargain, the quality of the movie is somewhat of a question. Having both the DVD and now the Blu-ray versions of these movies, the actual picture quality difference is marginal at best. In addition to a Blu-ray player, I own a high-definition tv, so whether I'm watching Blu-ray movies or DVDs I'm able to watch them as best as they can be.Where I was a little disappointed was in the sound quality. The background noise from either the music or other things - such as the engine noise from the cars - is overwelmingly louder than the people talking. Several times I had to adjust the volume during scenes where there was mostly music or engine noise because it was loud enough to disturb my neighbors in my apartment. After turning the volume down and moving on to another scene which required listing to people talk, I had to run the volume back up.I have quite a collection of movies, and as mentioned earlier these same movies from the trilogy, and haven't had this experience before, so I can't blame the equipment. It's not enough of an issue to cause me to want to return this (since it didn't cost that much to begin with), but I would recommend to anyone who already owns this trilogy on DVD to save your money for something else, as you won't notice any true "upgrade" in your viewing experience and the sound quality may become frustrating. If you don't own these movies on DVD to begin with, you can save some money buying the trilogy but be aware that your listening enjoyment maybe challenged.

So far my only complaint is with the digital transfers.
So far I have only watched the first F&F on the Blu-ray copies, and the picture and sound are good. My 1080p TV is down for the moment so I'm watching them in 720p on my computer screen with Logitech's 5.1 Z-5500 speaker set through Windows Media Player.At first I was getting alot of distortion through the speakers but I adjusted the SRS settings and all is good now. As far as the picture goes, from what little I can see it is looking pretty sharp. Which leads me to my only complaint. I did the Digital Transfers on the disk to the computer and when I play it through Windows Media Player, I only get an 8x3.5 inch box to view it on. The picture in that 8x3.5 inches is pretty good but if I try to full screen it, it drops ALOT of the quality of the picture and gets grainy. By the way, my monitor is a W2252QT 22' wide screen from LG. So you know its not the monitor cause its a good screen from a good company.

ENJOY 2 WHILE YOU TOLERATE SOME SCENES OF THE OTHER
I really enjoyed these and the 4th was pretty good considering the between times for Dom to be in the picture..Never reall like the ending of Tokoyo Drift where Black makes the statement"This ain't no 10 second race"!That was crap for the show and made it look worse than what it was!!Be hard to drift a big Mopar car the way they do those rubberband toys that the Japs make calling them race cars??not hardly!!Get 1 of them to do a wheelie or 180mph in the 1/8th on a 1/4 mile track!!NO WAY!!

FUN oriented series is BD Blast
This is a fun series. If you can handle it! The A/V is great, I had the hot DVDs; if you get the Blu-ray your eyes will be zapped and your ears will get whiplash. I tried not to re-buy these and then I saw how good they looked in a store display; I went home and ordered the set on Amazon! Sorry store. Wrong price! These movies are a cinematic pleasure. Production of all three is high.All three are total eye candy with cars, babes and their dudes. The stories are all as entertaining as anything Hollywood has ever dished out. I like Tokyo Drift the most. The others are even better.

Fast Paced Action
Personally I love these movies and couldn't wait for them to come out on Blu Ray.The First movie was what got me in to cars as corny as it sounds. But each new release I couldn't wait to see. Now that they are in Hi-Def I can blast them on the surround sound to listen to the cars.The First movie in terms of plot and story hands down is the best one, but with new and original cars they will keep you watching until the gang is reunited in the 4th installment, sold seperate.The movies look and sound amazing. This is a pack you will not be dissapointed with.

Makes me wanna drive stick shift again
I bought this blu-ray set during Amazon's gold deal, which was a real good value. Great collection for those love to watch some street racing action with unreal / fantasy maneuvers (more real than Speed Racer the movie). Nothing beats man/machine interaction and the sounds. The Tokyo drift was cool. Surround sound spatial encoding was great as I can constantly hear from different speakers. This is a fast action film so make sure you have a fast refresh big screen! Nice extras as well.Watching this type of movies does make me itch to get back into driving a stick shift, and sure to invest in some performance enhancing parts!

The Fast and Furious box set
does what it says on the box all 3 movies, the kids love it happy days. It arrived before expected date which was good as it was a present. Would recommend if you like any of the movies great value at all three films for under a tenner.

JJ's review
Brilliant box set. Gotta be Vin Diesel for these films. No-one else comes close. The films maybe a few years old now, but could watch time and time again.
