Yeah, Strider was pretty intimidating on first read. I was even less sure of him in the film. They already had made Bree and the Pony such gloomy, intimidating places, I wondered if they had some nasty trick up their sleeves for Strider, too.
Yes, I loved Bree in the book, so full of warmth and laughter and such a good glimpse into the sort of thing hobbits would consider "having a good time." But I see why they changed it the way they did in the film. I think it worked.
