In rare cases, a well-produced movie can elevate a poorly-written book which nevertheless had an intriguing premise.* But usually when we have books-to-TV/movie adaptations, a large majority of the beloved books’ fans express disappointment that the screen versions do not measure up to the original books.

And, on the whole, it's hard to disagree that a book is usually better! ;-)
