In the movie, the only way that Gandalf could strike the Balrog in the chest was because he was balancing on him as they were falling. If the two were standing on the ground, movie-Gandalf would have been to the Balrog as a duck is to a man.
ie, very small, too small to get Glamdring anywhere near the Balrog's chest.
