Well, but that's like saying original movies are better than movies based off books. An original movie for starters won't have to live up to the original source material, so that already relives it of a lot of weight. (Unless it's the Swedish version of the Millennium Trilogy, that movie adaptation was Bamf, best movie adaptation ever of anything.)

Of course, there are original movies that are bad, but most bad movies are adaptations of books, because they are tend to fall short to the source material (unless the source material is already bad *cough* Fifty Shades of Gray*Cough*).
