I think the movie and book versions of a work should be considered separately in almost all cases. In this case, the movieS have added quite a bit of material that isn't in the book. (There are several theorie$ as to why.) I would read the book first in this case since you are looking for an introduction to the genre and the stuff added into the movies muddles the fun adventure story for me.
