Part 11/12:
The movie’s soundtrack, by comparison, is forgettable and uninspired. It acts as a generic action score, lacking personality and failing to enhance Craven’s character. Without a strong musical identity, the film misses an opportunity to elevate Craven’s menace and internal struggle, rendering him as forgettable as the bland score that accompanies him.
Conclusion: A Missed Opportunity
Overall, Spider-Man 2’s depiction of Craven marks a significant departure from the character’s original, compelling portrayal in the video game. While the game version captures a terrifying, deeply motivated predator haunted by mortality, the film reduces Craven to a shallow, comic-relief figure—a shadow of his true self.
