I wouldn't necessarily consider this to be the most depressing superhero/comic book movie that I've ever seen (like say, Batman Returns or Ang Lee's Hulk) but still, think about the following:
*Sandman's daughter is still seriously ill by the end of the movie
*Sandman is never properly brought to justice for his crimes. I don't care if Peter "forgave" him for killing Uncle Ben, Flint Marco still escaped from prison, knowingly as the Sandman attacked policemen, used his new found powers to rob banks (instead of using them "responsibility" like with Peter when he got bit by the radioactive spider), was an accomplice in the kidnapping of an innocent woman (Mary Jane), and God knows what else by the end of the movie, when he just floats away.
*Harry is dead. And all of this really wouldn't of happened if it weren't for "Deus Ex Machina" Butler telling in two movies too late the truth about his father's death.
*Even though she's seen at Harry's funeral, Peter never properly patches things up with Gwen Stacy after he (while under the influence of the symbiote) used him to get back at Mary Jane at the jazz club.
*Dr. Connors still as a sliver of the symbiote at his lab, so of course, there's a slight, slight chance of all of this *beep* happening again.
*J. Jonah Jameson's (who as shown in these movies, isn't really that bad of a guy) and for that matter, the Daily Bugle's reputation is more than likely tainted because of Eddie Brock's story fabrications. It didn't help that JJJ had to resort to paying off little kids for cameras.
*Peter and MJ's relationship after all of the drama that they've been through during just this movie, end up in a cloud of uncertainity (at the end, we just see them slow dancing and then the movie fades to black). I mean, since the series is going to be rebooted, we'll never get a chance to see Peter actually propose to MJ.
*Mary Jane's career and overall personal life is still in the crapper by the end of this movie.
*On a side note, the girl who played the British TV reporter, Lucy Gordon killed herself like a year or two after this movie was released. Not only that but Hal Fishman, who played the TV news anchor also died shortly after this movie was released. It also doesn't help much that this turned out to be Cliff Robertson's (Uncle Ben) final movie performance.
