Josh Matthews, of Polemics, says movies
can never replace the reading experience and applies that to the Lord of the Rings movies.
I think he puts it very well when he says:

"Lord of the Rings, the story, is an invitation to mentally participate in an active, crafted world of Tolkien’s construction. But unlike Tolkien’s words, popcorn, big screens, and Hollywood’s special effects do not usually involve mental participation."
