In case of the books, i like to use the image my poor brain tells me. The writer leaves me a change of to use my own imagination.

However, having said it, if even the poor movie makes people read more then its worth of it.
As we were told in school: Reading books is always worth of it.

I like better whatever came first. The book or the movie. It is hard to make a good one based on the other.

couldn't agree more, Apart from one exception and that is Peter Jacksons visualisation of Middle Earth. I felt at home in the world he created from the first scene in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy and I am eagerly awaiting the release of the final Hobbit episode, his deviations from the books narrative have done nothing to diminish my enjoyment of the films. The overall environment couldn't have been closer to the Middle Earth I knew from the books If he had looked into my mind, I think the films are as magical as the books were to me as a child. I can only imagine Tolkien would have been impressed
