Well feanor was that great elf dude right and gothmog was the leader of the balrogs. Didn't gothmog get toppled from a cliff or something. Anyway that's not the point I'm just saying in the regards of detail and richness of the world, the books are superior. I do admit that the fight scenes where better in the film however I like to imagine book faithful battles from time time. In the films they skip over loads of stuff. Most prominently most stuff in the shire/ruined arnor/north west, (tom bombadil and the scouring of the shire were both highlights in the book and important development for the main characters, the hobbits!) I still enjoy the films and I watched them first but I just prefer the books from personal preference. Let's not talk about the hobbit movies....
