Note: fully aware of the irony of this gif, not to mention the wild contrast between the book and film. That being said, the movie is better.
I'm sorry, I like most of what you said, but I can't in good conscience upvote someone who thinks the movie was better than the book. It's a fun movie, but, come on...
I don't know which book/movie this is, so I'll just talk about Jurassic Park instead.

It's Starship Troopers. A sci-fi novel that was later adapted into a movie series. Notably the first movie is a parody of the hyper-militaristic, borderline fascist undertones of American style democracy. The book, on the other hand, was popular in the 1960s.
