Please refer to revised poll, with these choices -- most appealing because they are very memorable ( either as emotional/artistic/controversial) --
Hugh Jackman movies have given us some of the most memorable endings ...and the variety is remarkable.
*Logan - closure to the Wolverine saga
*Les Miserables - heartbreaking but uplifting
*Prisoners - what happens?
*The Prestige - who won?
*The Fountain - death is the road to awe
*Real Steel - sheer joy!
Thanks.
Jo

I voted for Les Miz because it's a magnificent choral number ending, but for me it's really a tie with Logan because of the final moment when the cross is turned to become an X.

I was torn between those two, also, but opted for the seminal "X" at the gravesite in LOGAN.

 How many of us could not immediately rise from our seats even after the post-credits ended ? We sat there trying to come to terms with what we had just seen...and even needed time to compose ourselves. Is this the end for Wolverine ? |

*Bring Me Home
*It's the story of one who turned from hating ...A man who only learned to love... when you were in his keeping
*To love another person is to see the face of God
*Do you hear the people sing
There is personal resonance to me --
*Man's mortality
*Redemption and love
*One's faith has never been more beautifully expressed
*Fight against oppression

The dying monologue --
*Evokes the years of enmity and obsession!
*Traces the different paths but actually converging into one of Angier and Borden!
Robert Downey had only high praise for Jackman's delivery of Angier's last words!

Fade to Black...The most open-ended finale ever! *Did Loki hear the whistle...and will he rescue Keller Dover? *Is Keller actually rescued and found alive? *If alive -- will he face time in prison? Up to you to speculate
