Movies Better Than Books Debate. 3 cons of reading books instead of watching movies. My first argument on why books are better is that books have a lot more explanation on the story.
When you read a book, you might take a day, a week, a month, two months or several months to finish it. The novel or book you are reading would have more depth and have many plots which are more fleshed out when compared to the movie. Stories are more accessible to a larger number of people in movie form than as books.

The debate about whether books or movies are better is a classic! When a book is adapted into a movie, there needs to be a better distinction. A movie generally plays for a minimum of an hour and a half to about three hours at the most. You can imagine how the characters look like.
