No, books generally give more information, but that doesn't make them better.
They are different media with completely different aspects that shouldn't be looked at in the same way. The only similarity is that they both tell a story.
I'm always in favour of watching the movie. Since you get the story in 1.5 hours instead of spending multiple evenings to essentially get the same information. And I like visual media in general.
Of course, if no movie exists then reading the book is also a good option. Looking at you Terry Pratchett.
