    I always hear that gandalf is a powerful wizard. but in the movie all he really did was shine his staff and some low level telekinesis. I know in his unbound form he was a god, but did he have any Impressive feats from the books that The movies left out? ( i Know this is comicvine, but people tend to be very knowledgeable) .

    The Wizards of Middle-Earth aren't really the fireball-flinging types that you see in D&D or other conventional fantasy settings.  Fighting the Balrog was certainly an impressive feat, but the wizard's real powers fall along the lines of the spiritual rather than the invocative.  They're meant to act as guides the the peoples of Middle Earth, but can act as individuals as well.
