If you watch the movie first, sometimes it allows you to better visualize the characters and surroundings. As for me, I watched The Witcher first and then went back and read the books.
Sometimes the selection of cast for the characters of the book is a letdown. So if you've already got a picture in your head of where it takes place and what everyone looks like then you watch the film and it's nothing like you've imagined, you tend to hate it.
I've watched Bridgerton and now I'm reading the Duke and I and it's going a lot more smoothly!

Some novelizations also piqued my interest (Shape of the Water!), so I'm thinking of reading the novel version before watching the movie.
I'm more than ready to get enraged and burst out that "THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BOOK!!!!"

1- when you read a story you create your own world with your feelings and colors.
2- films make it so limited for our brains to imagine.
3- feeling books in our hands make sense to be filled with the story.

Furthermore,a book can be read without distractions but it seems difficult to watch movies without observing discussions or electric faults
