The personal nature of a book will never let it be better than a movie. When you read a book you are creating every visual, it's the way you interpret the story; when you watch a film it's the directors/producers/studios way of interpreting the story. Our arrogance will never allow you to say that some director, in one-three hours, made you feel the same way you felt about the book after weeks of spending time with it, honestly it's not a fair criticism.

weeks? at most it takes me a two days to read a book. the details in books is and will always be better than movies, only reason i watch movies of books that i have read is to see how some of the things look in real life (word to harry potter)

Not saying that it's not impossible, but if you taking two days to read a book, you may need to step up your reading level. Ain't no way you reading The Divine Comedy in two days B.
The details in the book are there to replace the visuals you see in the movie. If you ever get a chance, read the official screenplay for a book you read, you'd understand the differences in the mediums.
It's like saying "The live performance was way better than the music video" yeah, same song, but two completely different mediums. Personally, I've probably had more words ran pass these eyes than most people knew existed; however, I've learned to appreciate both film and print.
And remember, you're not seeing these things in real life, you're seeing them on a film, your seeing what another artists thinks of whatever it is you are looking for, it'll never be better than what you think it should/could look like.
Go ahead and bring up some anectdoctal evidence, people always do.

The personal nature of books is exactly what makes them better than movies.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is exactly how I feel reading this POS thread. Dude's HAVE to be just in here trolling with some of the movies they're suggesting.

Exactly. You can't really compare across different forms of media, unless they're highly similar, IMO (e.g. a live classical music performance vs. an audio recording, a live musical vs. a film musical, etc.).

Nic Cage. My man has been hard at work putting out like 4 movies per year for the last 10 years.
Guess he really needs that money after he lost the castle he bought. Haha

The Harry Potter movies are better than the books. Stopped reading them at Goblet of fire because I have the utmost faith that the movies would keep beating out the books, and I was not disappointed.

Harry potter and Lotr are the only series that immediately come to mind when I think of an instance where the movies were better than the books.

I dead stopped watching the movies after Prisoner of Azkaban...
But to anyone who said Avatar was overrated.
I 100% Agree.
It's basically an cg'ed up Pocahontas... or the story of Africa. Whichever comes first.
