Maybe the difference is in Eowyn's presentation

In the book, Eowyn is not known as Eowyn, and we don't get the "princess" vibe you mentioned. Instead, it is just one of the Rohirrim, weeping over Theoden and then fighting to defend their king. Only, in the reveal, do we get the incredible sense of power that she wields. That might be what is lacking in the film, is the fact that we know it is Eowyn and we know her relationship with Theoden, and the feelings she must be feeling as the Nazgul attacks him. I doubt that it would be possible to be convincing in a film medium, but the power conveyed is both in the concealing and the revealing of her identity.
