Every art form has its dominant sensory modality.
The main modality for movies is visual effects. In this aspect, the American version of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is superb, especially in casting; Rooney Mara looks just like the right Lisbeth Salander and Daniel Craig the right Mikael Blomkvist.
(When reading books, I always try to create visuals for all the characters and scenes.)
People who care about stories should go for books.
