Kinda depends on the story. Some stories are better told in the medium of film. Some are better told in the medium of books.
Both.
Portions of this page are reproduced from or are modifications based on work created and 
movies take longer.
A short book holds for more intellectual capacity to think, derive and interpret. Everyone reads a book differently, whereas a movie is created based on the perception of a few individuals on how it should be like. Most movies are targeted at a broad based audience with a profit-maximizing motive, and thus only favors a certain formula.
Against a short book? Yes. But when they are both long books/movies, it depends on the story.
