Movie Characters Revisited: Gandalf - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was pretty content with the portrayal of Gandalf. I think this always leaves room open for future films of books since none hardly ever stay true to the story. I did not like the battle with the Balrog. It seemed very much on a lesser scale than the actual battle from the books and Gandalf just pounding the Balrog with his sword in the movie was not cool.
