And didn't Gandalf himself hold them off on Weathertop too?

Yeah, but the Witch King didn't have that wicked flying dinosaur mount at the time. Maybe it was that animal's breath that broke the staff and nearly made Gandalf pass out.

I believe the Lord of the Nazgûl equals Gandalf in strengh and stature.

The staff of Gandalf is shattered and the wizard is cast down, before The Black Captain. What does that tell you?

You are aware, are you not, that none of this happened in the book? If not, go and read!

EDIT: And by the way, welcome to the Downs! You may not have been aware of this, but this thread is basically about how the presentation of this scene in the movie deviates from the letter and spirit of the book - hence my reaction above.

I am aware of it, yes, and I have read the books as well.
