Movies or Books, better or equal!

Here's a question that you may have been asked several timed before.
Are the movies or the books which the movie is based, better? More specifically as an example, Is the movie trilogy by Peter Jackson or the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien better? And Why?

The Books are, about 97% of the time, always a million times better than the book. In some cases even scripts written with the sole purpose of being traslated into a film experience are still better than their visual brother. The interpretation of text into image is difficult because there is always the problem of interpretting the words as they were initially meant to be. Not to mention the fact that a picture could mean a thousand things to just a few people. Where as a word has, at least usually, far fewer possible meanings.
