Christopher Young's additional score[edit]

Danny Elfman's few scores in the film were rejected, Christopher Young did most of the soundtrack for the film and he was uncredited somehow... Kade Klodt (talk) 01:31, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Extended edition[edit]

Shouldn't there be a panel for it to what scenes were add to the movie either in the plot or at least it's own panel Underdog0123 (talk) 20:24, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cameo[edit]

There's a 14 or 15 year old rumor that gets brought up once in a blue moon, that the Punisher made a cameo appearance in the film, but the only thing these people are basing that on is that the guy somewhat looks like Thomas Jane (opinion) and is wearing all black... that's it. But now there saying it was his stunt double from the film, but it's never been proven from anyone, no "quotes" or statements, they claim it's from a Wizard Magazine and the audio commentary, but after 14 or 15 years, no one has quotes what they've said. Story wise it makes no sense, also, Sony didn't own the rights to use the character, they would have gotten sued by Lionsgate. I want see the statements from the filmmakers and I want to hear an audio recording from the commentary, is that too much to ask for????108.208.137.67 (talk) 04:00, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This would qualify as a somewhat extraordinary claim, so extraordinary evidence would be needed in order for it to be included. For what it's worth, I've searched for reliable online sources that spoke on the matter, but I couldn't find any. I've found, however, two statements, one in the IMDb trivia section on Spider-Man 2, and one in a WhatCulture article, both questionable sources, but even these two say the rumor is false. IMDb: Toward the end of the movie, it was rumored that The Punisher (2004) was noticeable, as that movie was based on a spin-off character from Spider-Man's comic book. This turned out to be false and is only someone who resembled Thomas Jane. This is purely coincidental. He was never intended by the makers to be the Punisher.[1] At first, WhatCulture seems to confirm the rumor: In the final scene of Spider-Man 2 when Mary Jane runs through New York in a wedding dress she draws the attention of a guy in a black trench coat. You'd be forgiven for thinking his obvious turn is a scene stealing attempt from an extra, but the truth is much more exciting; it's Punisher. And no, this isn't a crazy fan theory like my article last year on Deadshot in The Dark Knight Rises; the audio commentary reveals that is most certainly the serum-less super soldier who gives mob bosses nightmares. But the rumor is actually refuted later in the same paragraph: Produced about the same time as the 2004 adaptation of the character, the producers wanted Thomas Jane to make an appearance as Frank Castle, but due to Sony not having the rights his stunt double was used instead.[2] Let it be clear that neither of these sources can be used in the article.

Improved to Good Article status by Some Dude From North Carolina (talk). Self-nominated at 16:26, 2 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

  • Date for GA and length fine. As for hooks, I'm striking the first 3 because every film has grossing money and a lot get awards so they don't stand out as much. I am leaning more towards ALT4 because I think it is the most hooky and thoroughly cited with multiple sources (and personally, I agree with the assertion!). QPQ not needed as this is the nominator's 1st 5th and final free nomination. No close paraphrasing. Good to go. Though @Some Dude From North Carolina: I would suggest next time you nominate at DYK, you might get a quicker review if you suggest fewer hooks (1 or 2 will be enough). Well done on an excellent first nomination! The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:28, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, it is one of the best movies of all time! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CathyF.13 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drama film[edit]

I've removed the category "2000s drama films". I do not believe it fits the category. Any comments? Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:38, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spider-Man films actually have more dialogue and in-depth character development than action itself. That counts strongly. Chigurgh (talk) 21:36, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but this also has a character who has mechanical arms, a character who stops a runaway train and a scene involving a car being flung right through a window. You wouldn't find this in let's say, A Beautiful Mind. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:58, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If there is no further discussion, I'll remove this category. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:45, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, Inglourious Basterds also has more dialogue than adventure. You wouldn't find this in let's say, Indiana Jones, The Matrix or The Lord of the Rings.201.68.108.57 (talk) 18:49, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Drama means dramatic, Spider-Man series are dramatic action films, Andrzejbanas is confusing drama with oscar-winner; If Die Hard is an action thriller, the suspense in die hard is separated from the action of die hard, but that doesn't make it less an action thriller. Spider-Man 2 is a drama with action sequences, 99% of it is dialogue, and 1% is that small action scene on the trainside. Inglourious Basterds has lots of dialogues, things not in common with real adventure films like Indiana Jones and The Lord of the Rings. LordXVMon (talk) 09:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't just repeat arguments against me through different user names. It's not helping your case. ;) Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:05, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTFORUM comment removed. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:22, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I understand that's your opinion, but this is talking about Drama Films in the Spider-Man article, Not Chuck Norris. Please do not mention anything not related to a subject in the 'Talk' page. MasterWolf0928-Æthelwulf (talk) 14:40, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

best claim[edit]

The claim that the film is regarded as one of the best superhero movies of all time isn’t valid. It’s using old lists from 2014 and 2011 as well as a user poll that are long outdated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_2#cite_note-11 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fearthereaper3 (talk • contribs) 03:08, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
