Roger Ebert calls Spiderman 2 the best superhero movie he's ever seen

Drama film

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]

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

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 It’s using old lists from 2014 and 2011 as well as a user poll that are long outdated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_2#cite_note-11 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fearthereaper3 (talk • contribs) 03:08, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
