Well, I think that you can have a good movie, even when it is based on the books. It is very rare though, to have a movie that is exactly the same as the books. Books allow each individual person to have a different picture in their mind, movies don't. In LOTR, the movies are very good, but they are different than the books. Which one is better? I don't know, it is like comparing apples and orages. I personally like apples better, but that doesn't mean that oranges aren't as good.
