This disagrees - puts the Wargs and Goblins (and Bats) together, and considers the Eagles the 5th Army in the field
"was called the Battle of Five Armies ... Upon one side were the Goblins and the Wild Wolves, and upon the other were Elves and Men and Dwarves."
I think this is a direct quote from the book. It would lead me to believe that the Eagles weren't a fifth army and were just the deus ex machina as normal.

This is accurate. The "Wild Wolves" are referred to as Wargs, however, throughout the novel. The Wargs were essentially like the Direwolves of "Game of Thrones" except that they could talk. They were intelligent, evil, and led massive packs of regular wolves. In this case, the goblins rode atop the wargs with lots of regular wolves in tow along with the bats and cave trolls outfitted for the seige.

you are correct Peavey
this is from my kindle version
also the movie is based off the book and Tolkien called it the battle of five armies that is what PJ used. So the issue with not knowing the fifth army in the movie is PJ's fault. It should have been the wolves. The Eagles are not an army.
