I've never been an Asimov reader

This weekend i finally watched I, Robot (yeah, i know a little behind the times) and i thought it was a pretty good flick. my question to you all is if i liked the movie, should i read the book? Most decent movies are forever ruined by reading the book. the written word is so much more descriptive than film can be. Clancy, King, Rice, Crichton, and Grisham are fine examples writers whose work doesn't carry over well to the screen.

So, with that in mind should i read the I, Robot series? How many are in the series? Do they each have the same characters? should they be read in the order they were written?
