<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused
In the fellowship of the ring Gimli mentions several times about passing through the mines of moria and how his cousin would be there to meet and greet them. He also expresses genuine surprise/horror at seeing the dwarves there dead. However in the Hobbit film we discover that moria was already infested with orcs/goblins long before the events of LOTR and that the dwarves knew this, as they tried to reclaim it once forced out of Erebor.
Is there something I missed or is it just an overlook by the story-writers?
