You know how sometimes there is a great book, and then they make a movie out of it.? Which would you rather watch/read?
I would say the book, because it has more details than a movie most of the time.

I don't know really.In movies you can see everything,but books have more funny parts and details.But I think that movies are still better,cause they are shorter.

Books, the author can get into more detail about it more than a movie ever can

Law of Real Life/Money: A book can never be as good as a Movie. If you took all the details from Lord of the Rings and made it into a movie, it would be 8 hours long. (exaggerating maybe) Point is, you watch the movie, big deal, you still dont know the story, no matter how many times you watch the movie, you still have no clue about the entire thing unless you read the book.

Movies, I like more but if you read the book, you get a better understanding of it

The only decent adaptation I've seen so far is 1984

I don't know why people compare them so much. They're sort of different too.

Yes, they are different mediums. We are discussing books are better than the movies based on them.
