The issues with the eagles seems kind of trivial to all of the movies overall and weren't even integral to anything except rescuing the Dwarves from the Orcs and rescuing Frodo and Sam from being killed by the erupting Mt. Doom.
Yes, maybe it would have been helpful if Jackson briefly explained the connection between the eagles ans Gandalf instead of just whispering to a butterfly.
If there is anything to complain about the eagles it should be how slow they moved and how wide of a turning radius they must have had, and yet were perfectly timed to be under the characters as they plummeted off the tree.
Still, I don't see how the eagles make or break either The Hobbit or ROTK in how they were employed.
