Saw it yesterday, loved the movie. Last night I re-read the early appearances from Strange Tales, and in retrospect they did an excellent job of staying with the source material. There were even three improvements: Mordo, the Cloak, and Christine Palmer (who was last seen in the Nightcrawler maxi-series).If you're not a comic book fan, you should know that the first comic book appearance of Doctor Strange was in the early 1960's... The character's been around a loooong time, and thus the origins and motivations of most of the supporting characters/villains in his story were established in what you might call "a simpler time"...
