There certainly are things I liked better in the books, I remember that much. But when judging entirety of books vs entirety of movies movies were better in my opinion.

(I'm only talking LotR itself ofc)

Yeah the movies have 1 extra thing that puts it way above the books: music

The Hobbit and LOTR books are actually fantastic to listen to as audiobooks. The narrator (at least in the version I had) sings all the songs.

Oh yeah I loved those too. Depends on the narrator I guess as well. But the music in the movies is on a different level.
