Moria - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Before the Fellowship heads into Moria there are two interesting things that happen.

1. Boromir and Legolas do not want to go into Moria and Aragorn is very hestitant too.

2. There is another way around Moria discussed in the book, but not in the movie. Someone suggests that they go all the way around and down the coast to Mordor, but Gandalf says it will take too long.

Why do you think Boromir and Legolas do not want to go into Moria? Does Legolas know what the dwarves uncovered in the deep, maybe?(Besides the obvious)

How do you think the story would have changed if they went down the coast and passed up basically Moria, Isengard, Fangorn, Rohan etc.?
