i love reading books.. it enhances my imagination.. but watching movies is really entertaining.. books are detailed in information but one can misinterpret them.. movies however show what they mean.. but they lack the detail like what's on the mind of the people seen.. which is better? books or movies?

At the core of a cinematographic work is written. It is a reality, it is pointless to fight it. Whether a film is based on a book, a comic book, a poem, or a simple script written work is part of the origins of the cinematographic work.
Opera has written to me a charm. I love the smell of books, feeling that it gives a bound book in hand, exercise of imagination that I submit the text, that keeps me awake many hours of the night.
The movie also has its charm him. I like movies a lot and spend relatively large amounts going to the cinema with friends.
Question "book or movie?" I put it many years ago, about the time that has occurred Jurassic Park.
I'm part of those who have read Michael Crichton's book first and then they saw Spielberg his film. Both liked me, but I liked the book harder than movie.
Other works where the question arose "book or movie?"were Lord of the Rings, Legends of Autumn, Les Miserables, fragrance, but not exclusively.
We have concluded that sometimes movie can beat the book, especially when the director is excellent and very good actors.
There is a current contemporary movie that invites the follower at the expense of reading the book. Ultimately it is easier. The story takes place in a limited period of time, in most cases somewhere at 2:00, details are not described over several pages, but are put forth in several images, immersion is both audible and visual. And if we can benefit from advanced technology is a 3D experience.
I still wonder if it's worth the experience to be "used. " What? Well simple: everything you see on the screen already bears one mark imagination to several directors and artists altered the game. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but a vision that inspires and that work should generally be yours.
Example: A long years after I saw and reviewed Star Wars, books I read. I could not imagine the characters differently than I had seen the film. No I do not want that. I know that the film was very good. I consider the beginning and end of SF movies. I wonder what it looks like Star Wars universe in my mind when I read the books first?
Counter example: In many years after I read and reread Dune I saw movie. It seemed a pale reflection of Frank Herbert's books and mastery. Do not identify with the characters in the book what happened to my leg with no wax.
Another counter example: Sahara movie recently appeared as Clive Cussler's novel. The main character was blond. The book was dark.
So book beats movie? I'd say it's rather draw. Draw the number of wins.
