Movie wise, with his staff Gandalf could have 'zapped' him from the gate as he rode in. Unfortunately he didn't have his staff so Denethor could start the flames which lead to his death before Gandalf could grab the 'pike' from the guard and confront him. With the staff Gandalf could have overcome him quickly without the need to ride up and knock him down, etc.

that's one of the reason's why I believe he staff was broken, along with the others I've posted.PS Habriz, no worries debating the scene, I just feel sorry for the people who feel so strongly about it and it 'ruins' the film for them, so much so that one of us if thinking of scrapping watching the EE and buying the theatrical release instead! How sad.........
