The Eagles owed Gandalf a favor. However, the favor was not big enough that they were willing to fly him into Mt. Doom and risk their lives doing such. The Eagles would have had to fight their way in and lost many of their number, especially to the lead Ring Wraith who had that flying monstrosity.
Now, when it came time to save Frodo and Sam the Wraiths are distracted by fighting that's going on elsewhere, Sauron's seat of power has been destroyed with the ring, and it's actually relatively safe for the Eagles to swoop in and save these two Hobbits.
Every time I see the argument that the movie should have been over so quickly, the above flashes through my mind. I think my reasoning is sound.
i thought it was fun. i still wonder how successful the movie would have been if it were only plot from the hobbit and not all the extra stuff they tacked onto it. no doubt some fan in three years time will get all the films and make a fan cut of just the hobbit. be interesting to see.
the music was fantastic, the singalongs really suited the film. and riddles in the dark - wow .... :)
