From all the rejected cues Elfman wrote for the film, this is the one I would really ask Sam Raimi "Why ?". While I can consider that he disliked Elfman's moderate approach for Otto Octavius catastrophic experiments, while maybe late reediting of several sequences made some cues problematic, I just can't understand why he refused the first minute of "Spider-Fall/Rebuilding".
As Spider-Man flies through the buildings, Elfman's offers a beautiful, powerful yet touching presentation of Spider-Man's theme making Parker's doubts and loneliness ours. In the final cut, Raimi and his team replaced this wonderful interpretation of Parker's uncertain feelings by a dreadful mix of three cues from the first movie; Main Titles -- Parade Attack -- Revenge. The result is clumsy and doesn't deliver half of Elfman's initial ideas.
After Spider-Man's fall, the final cut reintegrates the original music until Doc Ock appears to the screen. The shift here is more subtle: Raimi reused Elfman's music from a previous scene (Angry Arms) which is a statement of Doc Ock's main theme only with a firmer orchestration. You can hear that Elfman went for a more subtle and discreet statement, mainly with clarinets, giving the scene a logical "wheels in motion" taste.
More to come...

Spider-Man 2 was such a good movie, but it always felt like there was something missing. Something was wrong. And it had to be the fact that the score to this movie rarely had its own identity. I love Young's score for the Train sequence, and some of his music for the Doc Ock accident scene, but having seen these clips, I'll always feel like I'm missing the full movie.
Okay, it's official. I hate Young. Just chopping and re-editing music from the first film doesn't work, and it's something Danny wouldn't ever DREAM of doing. Raimi needs a good slap for rejecting this wonderful material!

A precision : Young doesn't have anything to do with the reediting of the cues from the first film. That's Raimi's (and maybe Sony's) fault...
