'Tis true, but in the books Gandalf never showed any fear and when he came back as Gandalf the White and took Saruman's place.
He was also pretty fearless when fighting the Lord of the Nazgul.
Quote:
"You cannot enter here," said Gandalf, and huge shadow halted. "Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master. Go!"
