Which order do you prefer? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Would you have rather read the books before seeing the movies, or see the movies first and read the books? Why?

I personally would have liked to read the books first (as I did), then watch the movies as imagination is always better than movies to me. However, some of my friends who have read the movies said that when they read the books after the movies seemed much better as the books is too descriptive and slow for their liking.

What factors do you think influences this? Obviously one is which order you've already seen it in; that's got to have a major bias, but what else do you think?
