Gandalf could dodge/block (see reflexes in TT) with staff/sword or he could raise his magical shield that was powerful enough to block a giant fire-sword wielding by a super-strong being.
Gandalf was shown to be able to react fast enough to block an arrow and a throwing axe almost simultaneously. He can dodge an Avada Kadavra or at least block it once with his sword.
"I am the servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. The Dark Fire shan't avail you, Flame of Udun."---took about 10 seconds actually.
"Avada Kedavra"---about 1.5. Unblockable Killing Curse vs. Fire Shield.
And as we can see here:
Gandalf's possess the ability to easily and swiftly blast non-magical beings in to oblivion with his uber magical death rays that travel faster than arrows. The video doesn't show that because Gandalf was just trying to pull the wool over Pippin's eyes, just in case Pippin was a spy for Voldemort.

Swords can block the Unblockable Killing Curse? I didn't know that his sword had a loved one who died for it...

The spell is shown being stopped my metal and concrete etc... A sword is metal and therefore would stop it, although would likely be destroyed in doing so.
Common sense. The scene is there to show us what happens... Just like the scenes where we see Voldemort walking into Harry's house in SS. Plus it agrees with what Gandalf says to Aragorn later on.

Sorcerous Stone. And the scene where Voldermot walking to his house does not have Harry there yet we are led to believe it is factual, just like Balrog fight.
That wasn't Gandalf casting the spell, that was him boasting and trying to keep the Balrog at bay. When the Balrog finally attacked, it took him less than second to raise his shield.
Ava Kedavara will fail, dodged, blocked or magically shielded against.
No one said anything about "uber magical death rays" that don't exist concerning Gandalf , that's the pro-Voldermort fanboys. Gandalf wins because he's more powerful and Voldermort's go-to spell (the death-spell) won't work on Gandalf for stated reasons.
