I sincerely doubt that many people who saw the films would come to the conclusion that Gandalf was neither wise nor powerful. The point for me is not how it compares with the book, but how well it works within the context of the films, as the book and the film tell two quite different stories. From what I have seen, this scene looks, to me, to work well within the context of the story told in the films.
