It is much easier to have Spidey lose his mask or have extreme damage to it to allow for facial expressions to show more emotion in the climactic scenes. As good an actor McGuire is, the mask makes it impossible to read what's going through his mind, whereas rips in the mask or losing it altogether means you can see the determination/rage/frustration/etc. as it happens. I feel this is also why they had Brock peel back the Venom face a few times as well (of course, he did that in the comics a lot too).
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but I do agree about Gwen Stacy, Betty Brant (the girl who handles petty cash at the Daily Bugle) could have easily filled her role, or even the landlord's daughter. But you have to admit, that scene where Spidey rescued Gwen was WOW!
