Adaption or Translation

I think a book is usually better than a movie, but i have seen movies that are better than the book. I have seen more movies than books read but the book that i think is better than the movie is the hunger games. I think this because i think that the book was well written and that the movie was rushed and did not go in depth to the characters and rushed to the games. The hunger games itself i think was well filmed but the movie did not include enough background information. The book did include all the things the book did not, it included everything before the fighting and was well written. Another book that i think is better is the Hobbit. I read this about two years ago and i have read it twice since. I think that the movie was way better than the book because i think that it is hard for books to describe intense fighting scenes making the book sound confusing and sometimes the reader can get lost in the book. In the movie though the fighting scenes were a lot better and more intense and in to it than the book. However the book did go into the characters thought and feelings more than the movie. So overall i think that books are usually better than movies.
