Continuity mistake: During the battle with Green Goblin, when Gwen Stacy is falling through the clock tower, there are dozens of gears and other pieces of various sizes falling with her. However, when she lands, only a few small gears and pieces land alongside her - all the other debris that were falling have seemingly vanished. (02:01:20)

9.1/10.While this one does seem crammed with villains it's still solid.It does a decent job with Electro as Jamie Foxx is pretty decent here as is Paul Giamatti as The Rhino.The one that stood out was Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn/The Green Goblin.He's never called that but it's obvious.The suit was pretty good along with the way he gets it.Andrew Garfield still delivers here, seems quite focused as Spider-Man.The main problem, I felt, was Emma Stone.She seemed to be phoning it in as if bored.Gwen is now possessive of Peter like she was in the comics which always bothered me.I felt they shouldn't have done this as we know what happens in these movies with that kind of attitude.Her death scene seemed just like the comics only as least we see her look of sadness whereas in the comic she was unconscious.The sequel may not have been as good as its predecessor it's far from being bad or terrible.

Suggested correction: That part of the scene is SO dark that it's really hard to tell; they do show some gears and pieces land after she does and there are some gears and pieces next to her when he walks to her. I wouldn't say there's none, but I'd say it does seem a disproportionately low amount considering how many giant gears were falling.
Given that even you admit in your correction that the number of gears seems disproportionately low (which it is - we only see a few small pieces landing when there were dozens and dozens of pieces in different sizes falling), I think amending the wording through a word-change is a better option than trying to correct the mistake itself. Because there is still a mistake here. Going to go ahead and do that after I post this response. (Might take a few days to change, though).
Peter Parker: Everyday I wake up knowing that no matter how many lives I protect, no matter how many people call me a hero, someone even more powerful could change everything.
Trivia: Spoiler alert! The way Gwen Stacy dies in the movie is almost exactly the way she does in the comics. The differences are that in the movie, she falls through a clock tower instead of off a bridge, and she hits her head on the ground as it snaps back, instead of just her head snapping back in mid air. She's even wearing the same outfit as she does in the comics.
Question: How did Spider-Man alert Gwen's family and friends of her death without being accused of killing her?
Answer: Peter could have contacted the police anonymously.
