What's more likely is that stories are best told in the medium for which they were originally designed. People usually don't say the movie is better than the original book for the same reason they don't say novelizations of books are better than the original movies.
I’m hesitant to put too much stalk into movie novelizations. As far as I can tell, they tend to be, “We made a successful movie; let’s grab the cash with a cheap novel form.” I’m unaware of any novelizations that have been given adequate writing time. Just my thoughts!
