Most of the time books are better than movies. Books can let you imagine the setting or events happening in the story. They are also more detailed than movies because movies sometimes leave out some important details.
In some movies, they switch up the characters because in the book they are different and totally the opposite.
When we read a book, we tend to visualize the characters a certain way and in movies they don’t look like the way we want them too. It disappoints us in many ways. I’ve read books before that have a plot twist at the end and in the movie it never happens.
Movies tend to last about two hours and books take their time and last longer. Movies rush things so that they can end it fast and there. Not everyone has access to movies or can afford going to movie theatres but books can be borrowed at the library or from a friend.
Books are portable and can be read online as well, anytime. When reading books, we get more knowledge and it helps us improve our vocabulary. Characters are described much better and with more detail.
One important thing that books do have and movies don’t is that they provide more background information than a movie does.

Movies, along with shows, can be extremely detailed and layered. They can draw attention in subtle ways to the concrete and abstract and allow for connections to be made in the most interesting ways. Movies can show the emotion one feels when the pain or happiness is indescribable: betond words. Movies and shows can illuminate a facet of humanity. They both provide a less limited ability to be creative and innovative. Books are amazing too. They can achieve things that movies and shows cannot, but the same applies vice versa. Making careless generalizations is more harmful than helpful. Applying one’s personal experience to a universal or absolute does not make whatever that is being said fact.
You can improve your vocabulary by watching movies, by paying close attention to what is being said and using subtitles. If the people responsible for creating the film are competent or creative, the movie might even provide more than the book. It can reveal a different lense through which a different perspective is revealed. Actually, it provides a multifaceted lense; multiple perspectives at the same time, like a symphony that harmonizes a multitude of seemingly separate parts. Furthermore, when it comes to book-to-movie adaptations specifically, there is a bit of a poisoning-the-well effect happening. One’s preconcieved notions tarnish what might have otherwise been enjoyable. It’s understandable wanting to preserve what one holds as precious (personal view/understanding of a book) but it’s wrong to lump (almost) all movies with whatever film there is a grudge against, whatever film shattered the picture. Movies (and shows) have their own merits too, and those merits deserve to be acknowledged.
