** Gwen's death. Even though it was in the comics, she's survived in other recent adaptations (such as the original Raimi trilogy, ''ComicBook/SpiderManLovesMaryJane'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', and even the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' comics resurrected her after her initial death) and some viewers think it's too predictable to kill her off (and would make an effective NotHisSled moment). Others think her death is too big a part of the Spider-Man mythos to let her live. Many fans also considered the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone to be the best thing the Spidey reboot had going for it.

** Fans were also quite upset when it was revealed Mary Jane, played by Shailene Woodley would not appear in the film, despite that being one of the things announced when the sequel was greenlit.

* PresumedFlop: The film didn't perform as well as Sony wanted, leading them to cancel two sequels and a SharedUniverse in favor of rebooting the character for the MCU. While its worldwide total of $709m WW made it the lowest grossing ''Spider Man'' movie up to that point, it still became the ninth highest grossing film of 2014, and turned a profit on a budget of at most $250m.

It is speculated that one of the reasons that the movie underperformed in America was because it was released early in other countries and thus the ending [[spoiler: Gwen's death]] got spoiled leading to lack of interest in the film.

* FanPreferredCutContent: An fully complete alternate ending featured TheReveal that Richard was actually alive the whole time. This ending is near-unanimously preferred by fans for being a much stronger conclusion and showing off some of Andrew Garfield's best acting. Some even go as far as to say it would have saved the movie.
