Book Voldemort vs. Movie Voldemort?

If you’re a fan of the series (books and movies) then I’m sure you acknowledge the differences between Lord Voldemort in the films and in the books. My question is which Voldemort do you prefer?
Personally, I like the book Voldemort loads better. I appreciate what Ralph Fiennes did, make Voldemort more of a ‘humanly’ evil (as he has said in interviews) I just felt that in the books, Lord Voldemort was even more evil; a personification of evil! His face and deformity was more obvious in the books as well. Which do you prefer?

He added a more layer of expressions, and to me, is more devil like, and just more interesting.
I love Ralph Finnes interpretation, don't get me wrong.
But, J.K Rowling's vision was better to me (the 'Cage of Light' picture)

Agreed lol. I don't want to sound like a book purist myself but H.P is the BOOKS to me.

For example, I winced so much in Black Swan because of the more relatable gore, than just someone getting their head blown off.
I love the way Voldy really taunts Harry in the GoF movie.

I also loved Fiennes' mood swings in GoF. I think Voldemort is the only thing I feel comfortable saying that Mike Newell would have done better than the other directors, including David Yates.
Jk Rowling is better

More layered,complex and thats what makes him a joy to watch
Nyeaaaaaah!
The reason I like movie over book is because... Well.. Okay, take Satan for example. Satan cannot destroy love, only take and distort it. He distorts love and makes his own thing called temptation.
Much like with Satan, the movie Voldy takes such a spiritual thing such ad human life, and distorts it to make a more evil and just terrifying thing, as apposed to something just like a snake mutant thing.

I'd say that he's completely maniacal enough.
However, at any moment he could just snap and massacre an entire room. Film Voldemort is spot-on with book Voldemort in this regard. Let us be thankful that Rowling, nor the filmmakers, decided to dish out another cliche "rawrrrr I am teh bad!!!" villain like we oh so often get in well, fucking everything else.

Newell captured the essence of Voldy better than anyone has, and i dare say could because of how good he was. Like i heard somewhere i can't remember... Yates is the best of the series in terms of characters, but the worst with the story, very disjointed.

In the books, I liked Voldemort all the way up until DH. In that book he just became like one of those bumbling Bond villains who reveals their entire plan. He literally made every mistake it was possible to make; all for the convenience of JKR of course.
