1st: "French Version" ("Francias Vercion") appears on the Box Set & should tell most experienced blu-ray'ers enough right there.

2nd: Absolutely NO reason to buy this set (or any of them individually).... Reg.DVD HD-Upscaling will hold you over until a proper U.S. set is released; and here's why...
-- No Bonus Features (not even commentaries)
-- No subtitles (none, any language)
-- Audio = you do have the option of English DTS HD-Master Audio --- but had to have my Hm Theater Sys on near Full Volume on all 3, just to hear much of the dialogue! (also has English & French Dolby 5.1 -- nothing else)

3rd: They don't even have a "Main Menu" for cryin' out loud. The movies start automatically, & ReStart automatically.... NO Main OR POP-UP menu (aside from language controls that is)... NO Scene Selection even!!, etc. etc.

4th: Possibly the WORST sin of this set however... is the Trinity (3rd) film...
-- Not Unrated
-- Not even the same ending! (Drake goes to morgue, not Blade... Blade just rides off into the sunset on his bike... this ending makes absolutely NO sense, on EVERY level. The other ending (Blade attacking morgue personnel after awaking 'thirsty')... not only "paid off" the Ryan Reynolds 'voice-overs' that are at the beginning & end of the film... but why/how would/could a DEAD "drake", "morph" into Blade at all... let alone, have it last long enough (while DEAD) before morphing back into "drake" on the morgue table!?? MAYBE this was the "original" ending shown in theaters (and shown in the RATED versions of Blade Trinity?.... having only ever seen/owned the Unrated DVD version, I don't know...... but if it's NOT released as an UNrated version in the US (when it's finally released)... I FOR ONE WILL NOT BUY IT.

The Die Hard 4 blu-ray & several others... have been a bit of a let down; because they weren't UNrated; but didn't mind so much, because 99% of the time, it's usually just a little less gore/violence/etc. ------ but in 1% cases like these, when the movie itself (or enough of it) is Worse Off "rated" than "unrated".... well, I'd rather stick with the lower-quality GOOD/Unrated film, than the (somewhat) higher-quality BAD/Rated film, regardless of whether it has bonus features or not.

Buy this if you've nothing better to do with your money... otherwise, wait for the U.S. release & get your money's worth!
(PS: Picture quality was fine... but then again, it's not like the source material was 'grainy' to begin with. Still, I'd say it could/should be better -- just like the audio... and it will be, as soon as they make a proper U.S. version)

the original ratio is 1:2,35 = cinemascope also on DVD, But here on Blu-ray is the ratio fu..ing 1:1,78 = 16:9 TV-widescreen) my question is WHY !!!!! don't buy this box !!!

I was so excited to get this collection on Blu-ray, but once I got it and started to watch it I was disappointed because none of the disk have a menu they just start and there are scenes missing out of Blade:Trinity some small things but never the less they were part of the movie, now I'll have to go back to the regular DVD's so that I may watch the movies the way they were released.

for all of these people who have written bad reviews for this collection CLEARLY dont have HQ sound or a surround sound, the sound COMPLETES this collection, there are no menu's or extra's but, WHO cares??? i bought this for the MOVIES, NOT EXTRAS! I would recommend this to anyone I got it for $40 and you cant beat that price for THREE movies!

It was good but could of said it was a French version but still good..at least you could set your audio.

I almost passed on this set because of the other review listed for this blu ray set. I am glad that I realized that everyone has an opinion and there is a chance that yours will be different. This set has excellent audio and video quality. I don't know what the other reviewer was using for a sound system, but mine sounded great at the same levels as all of my other blu rays. There are no chapter selections on these discs, but that was not an issue for me. The video was awesome as well with superb clarity. I thoroughly enjoyed all three of the movies. I do not regret for one minute purchasing this set of Blade movies.

OK NOW I OWN THIS SET AND IT IS EXCELENT--- ARE YOU SERIOUS THE FILM LOOKS INSAIN TRHE QUALITY IS OUTSTANDING AND SOUND IS TOO!!! WHO THE HELL GAVE IT 1 STAR O' THE GUY THAT LIKES TO WATCH ALL THE EXTRAS--- WELL HELL I BUY MOVIES FOR THE MOVIE AND IT WAS WORTH IT!! IT DOESNT HAVE EXTRA'S WITH THIS SET BUT THE QUALITY IS THERE I PROMISE AND BLADE IS JUST ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER!!!!! SO I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS UPGRADE YOUR COLLECTION AND IF THE EXTRAS MEAN THAT MUCH GO AHEAD AND WAIT BUT~~~ WHEN YOU GET THIS YOU WILL SAY THE SAME THING WORTH IT!!!
