Gandalf Vs. The Witch King

After watching the scene, I watched it again with PJ's commentary, hoping to get some insight regarding 'why'. Nothing. I'm very disappointed with ROTK:EE.

And does Gandalf have a staff when he boards the ship at the end?

I think it is a really ruined part in this movie and that Gandalf The White is at least 4 times more powerful than the witch king. He the most powerful human in lord of the rings after sauron ( i think ) and with a lift of his staff should be able to chase the witch king and make him run for his life, as in the book the witch king himself feels overpowered and flees. It is terrible that they make him weak and pathetic like this.
