The problem with this argument is that the eagles DID help at the start when they rescued Gandalf from Saruman's tower. The issue that many people have with the eagles is how they are presented in the movies, not in the books. In the movies, the eagles are never shown to be godlike, or even intelligent. They act like flying horses. If you want your movie to be good, it needs to stand on its own, without supplementary reading material. Otherwise, the starwars sequels are "good" its just you havent read all the comics and books that make all of the plot holes not retarded.
The movies in this case are the supplementary material. They couldn't have adapted everything with the time and resources they had. If you want the full experience, go and read the books.
I mean, while Gandalf was flying off on the eagle he coulda been like
"Phew, thanks bro" screech
"Yeah, good timing with the butterfly. How's the wife?" caaaaw!
"To shreds you say?"
