This movie finally came around to cable on HBO. So I watched.
I did enjoy the style and flair of the camera work. The drum solo setting up for active moods in uptempo sequences. I thought that worked really well and kind of dug those parts. Cinematography was very good. Excellent, even.

Actors at work and, presumably, how they might work. Numerous bits of madcap humor here and there.

But the director left us with an ambiguous ending. I chose #4 from your list because that is what I wanted to believe as I watched the final act. He did not shoot himself in the head with that live pistol. Just like the script suggests, he shot himself in the nose, there was plastic surgery to repair the facial damage. the final jumping out the window scene with Sam watching him soar away was just another one of Riggan's hallucinary episodes.

Besides, the review in the next day paper did not mention anything about a death of the lead actor.

It was #4.
