Saw this yesterday in 3D and as a Strange fan (read every Strange comic and appearance from the 1960's to the 1990's) it was well put together and they relayed material right off the page but made it more interwoven for a film.
Highlight:
Dormammu
This was oozing awesomeness

Heather, the boys and I saw it on Saturday afternoon with Heather's mom, and we all liked it a lot. I don't know Jack about Dr. Strange other than what I've picked up in passing from general comics culture and the MSH game, though, so I'm a previously-uninformed appreciator of the film.

WARNING SLIGHT SPOILERS
In STRANGE TALES when Dr Strange started the headliner was usually the Human Torch from the FF (which were actually really prime Stan Lee/Jack Kirby tales BTW) and the backup was usually a sci-fi monster fantasy surprise ending "you really were on Earth/Hell/a fish tank" etc. There was an earlier prototype wizard called Dr Droom (who would later be retconed in reprints as Dr Druid in the 70's) who was a monster hunter. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko make Strange about "black magic" (a term they use over and over in the beginning) Dormammu, Mordo and the Ancient One are introduced right away with a follow up telling the origin which replicates the movie's "good Mordo" some what. Subsequent issues have throwaway wizards but mostly introduce all the weird beings of the dimensions of the Marvel Universe (Eternity, Nightmare, etc)
