Corrected entry: In the scene where Gwen is grabbing the phone cable to not fall to her death, her father and boyfriend (Eddie) arrive. They see her, and show no sign of worry. Her father asks "What is she doing up there?", but doesn't react that her daughter is about to die. Eddie, who likes her very much, doesn't react either. What's wrong with these people?

Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Corrected entry: In the city's festival, Spiderman deliberately kisses Gwen Stacy. He knows Mary Jane, his all dream girlfriend, is watching, he just met her there. Why would he kiss her? Perhaps the emotion of the festival made him kiss her, all right, but that wouldn't explain why, in a later scene, Peter goes to the restaurant to propose to Mary Jane, and gets very surprised when she tells him that he's driving her away. Did he just forget he kissed another girl in front of him? Also, while Mary Jane is very upset, when she gets to the restaurant, he greets Peter happily, even though she started to cry when she saw Peter and Gwen kissing. What's wrong with everybody?
Correction: Peter has spent two movies up to this point trying to learn how to keep Peter Parker and Spider-Man as separate lives. It was the whole point of creating the Spider-Man persona. In his mind, the public Spider-Man face did nothing wrong. He just doesn't quite understand how hard it would be for MJ to not see it that same way.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie, Harry's butler informs him that his father died with his own weapon, and that Spiderman didn't kill him. I wonder what took him so long to tell him this. He has known this since the end of the first movie and has talked with Harry some times (as scene in the films), so why didn't he tell him this, when Harry was hunting Spiderman to kill him because of the revenge of his father? Doesn't make sense at all.
Correction: He didn't want Harry to think that his father lost his mind and tried to kill so many people.

Corrected entry: The last part of the movie consists in Peter trying to get off the suit, and it is shown to be very difficult and painful. Even Eddie has problems with that. Curiously, Peter took off the suit a couple of times before and saved it in his trunk. so it makes you wonder why only later he has problems taking it off.

Correction: There is not to much to do. The building is about to fall, and they only wait for someone to help.

Even if they were waiting for someone's help, it doesn't explain their behavior. They should have showed a lot of concern if they cared about her so much. How could they be completely sure that help would arrive? What would have happened if help wasn't coming? How could they react if she fell but Spider-Man hasn't arrived? There was also possibility that building would collapse much sooner than they expected. Since they care about Gwen very much, they should be very concerned or at least worried. Even if there was not too much to do, they should have tried to take some action if help wasn't arriving or if building was collapsing faster. This entry is correct. This is a mistake.
None of us can dictate how someone "should" act in every given situation. Her dad's literally just realised who it is, he's figuring out of the situation. What, you think he should be screaming and waving his hands around? He's an experienced police officer, well versed in staying calm under pressure. His reaction is entirely appropriate, and idle speculation about "what if she fell without Spider-Man saving her" is irrelevant. Not everyone in life panics over hypotheticals.

Maybe Gwen's father is well versed in staying calm under pressure but Eddie is not. At least Eddie should have reacted more intensely.
Eddie's portrayed as a complete and utter jerk throughout the film. Even after Spider-Man saves Gwen, he barely checks on her, only giving her a (very) half-hearted "Thank god you're OK" before turning his focus to Spider-Man. It's clear he doesn't really care about her as a person. Hence, he doesn't really react much to her life being in danger.

Agreed, his lack of reaction and indifference were done deliberately. Filmmakers wanted to hint to everybody how truly callous and heartless a person Eddie is, as he was very willing to photograph Gwen falling to her death. The movie's novelization takes this even further, depicting him as someone who actively hopes to find dead bodies and disasters to take pictures of.
