I saw the fellowship before I read the books but I never found the book boring. Well, I may have got slightly stuck at the council of Elrond but I kept on reading it and like Mattius said, they're so different it doesn't matter if you basically know what's going to happen. You get to know each character a whole lot better and can appreciate the innocence of the hobbits, the age of the Elves, the bravery of the men, the rivalry between the Elves and the Dwarves and of course the history of the whole thing.
It's all-round better I find.
