Today's question is books and movies which one is better?
Both have their unique characteristics and benefits, although you can say that intellectually books are more beneficiary as like building your imaginative power.
Unlike movies they don't feed story directly so you need patience to read those and sometimes it is tiresome, but it increases your imaginative power.
You get to know what Writer is talking about first hand, not through some screenplay artist or director, it is your mind that makes all decisions, right or wrong.
Characters are not shown through some actors or actresses but you build them in your own mind and as they are perfectly described by Writer, no possibility of mistake.
All in all movies and books both are equally Good.
You just need to know what to like.
Being patient and building imaginative power or seeing what others thinks in just 3 hrs.
And one more thing in books is ,
The Book Stays With You<br>
Music has vinyl and writing has books, but movies don’t offer a physical object that offers an emotional connection—unless you want to count the campiness of VHS tapes. So, when you’re arguing about whether the book or movie was better, you might just be standing up for that old worn-in friend with the creaky binding that lives on a shelf in your bedroom.

In my opinion books are better at giving you a mind stimulating visual, while allowing the reader to the make the world their own. Films however don’t leave imagination up to the viewer because everything is shown.
Books are better than the movies because you become a part of them, unlike watching a film. That being said, if you are not one who enjoys having to paint a mental picture movies are for you.
In the end there isn’t necessarily a way to tell if either is superior it all depends on the consumer.

But in all honesty it actually depends on the how the book was written and how the movie turned out. That's my personal opinion of it.

Then there's the case where the movie is just as good as the book, like Harry Potter.
And the extremely rare case where the movie is better, for example Game of Thrones in my opinion.
