It seems most of the comments are regarding the packaging, and rightly so. What I expected was a 5 DVD box set, in individual cases with a cardboard outer case, as in the second image. What I received was all 5 DVDs inside one case, as in the first image.
This really should be clearer on the description. Since I bought this as a gift for someone else, I’m quite disappointed.

This review is from: Fast & Furious 1-5 Box Set [Blu-ray + Digital Copy][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Coming in at under twenty quid, this Bluray box set of all 5 Fast & Furious films is a real steal. The transfer quality is great and all the films are top quality discs with loads of extras.
The films themselves are fast paced and fun fuelled, with stunts and set pieces that will blow you away. If you haven’t seen these films, you really must.
It all starts with a simple formula: fast cars, fast women and lots of petrol driven fun but slowly the franchise evolves into something more. And by film number 5 you will be watching a heist film to rival anything else on the big screen.
For sheer fun and incredible mind blowing stunts you’d be hard pressed to find a film to better any one of the Fast & Furious films, and this box set is a great way to see them.
Here’s my verdict on all 5 films:
Film 1: The Fast & The Furious – 5 stars. I was fully expecting it to be rubbish but was won over by its energy and sheer entertainment factor.
Film 2: 2 Fast Too Furious – 4 stars. Couldn’t quite live up to the standards of the first film, but was good fun nonetheless, and by the end, I was in awe of the finalé. This is just a film of great set pieces on four wheels and all the stunt team have to be applauded.
Film 3: The Fast & The Furious Tokyo Drift – 4 stars. The franchise shifts gear and changes scene, bringing us a film that looks great in a setting made for the Fast & Furious films. Not quite 5 stars, but immensely enjoyable all the same. And full marks for keeping the F&F films feeling fresh.
Film 4: Fast & Furious – 3 stars. Trying to be something its not makes this by far the weakest film in my opinion. And overly-intricate story line means the film veers from the road of non-stop thrill and spills and great entertainment, getting bogged down with a confusing plot. Never gets out of second gear in my opinion.
Film 5: Fast & Furious 5 – 5 stars. The franchise is back in the fast lane delivering a film that is truly mind blowing in every way. The setting is exotic and colourful, the story is excellent but not overly complicated like if film 4, and the scale and scope of the stunts ambitious.
Not many film franchises can claim to have 5 titles, let alone 5 titles of such quality. Most tend to go downhill, with films 2 & 3 being inferior to the first… in some ways, you could argue that these films get better every time! If there are any doubters out there (I myself used to be one), I say, pick up this box set and see all the films for yourself.

This review is from: Fast & Furious 1-5 Box Set [Blu-ray + Digital Copy][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Having read the reviews here I have noticed that people are commenting on three different boxed versions of this film franchise released on Blu ray. This box set comprises each of the five movies as single disc versions and all come in one box (not individual cases inside). There are also no digital copies / codes or bonus discs. The information provided with this set is very sparse, and it does not list the special features or extras included with this release. Personally I am very disappointed with the packaging on this box set, but feel the price I paid in the sale makes up for this enough.
