There might be wisdom in that! For me, it's usually the other way around; I read the book first and then hate the movie.
On the other hand, the movies are usually abysmal regardless of their titles. Dune comes to mind. Starship Troopers would have been OK if it hadn't been a rip-off of Heinlein's novel.
I think the Dresden Files television series is pretty well done by itself, which makes it an exception.
