Why is it that movies always turn out better than the books?

Books are only constrained to telling you what happened through words, and they can waste a lot of time describing the setting while movie can just show it to you. They have the visual and auditory aspects to make a more immersive work of art. Following this logic, video games are the highest work of art so far because they combine the literary aspects of books along with the visual and auditory aspects of film and they also have interactivity which makes the art even more immersive. In books, you're only told what hjappens. In movies, you're shown what happens, but with video games, you genuinely feel what happens.

I have literally never read a book better than its movie adaptation. You guys can scream "b8" all you want, I'm just looking for an exception.

There are some really shitty books that were made into good films.
Hitchcock's Psycho is a notorious example.

A lot of the time, the film is at least on par with the book, like Kurosawa's Rashomon, Tarkovsky's Solaris, Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest, etc.

You're even more of an idiot than I thought.
