"The flight sequence is everything, from the way it was shot and composites to the genuine childlike glee on Kal's face," a fan wrote. "right now I'm humming that beautiful flight music. still amazing! #manofsteelwatchparty," a fan remarked. 

"The FIRST FLIGHT sequence is one of the best moments in a comic book movie. It's a beautiful moment where Clark begins to realize the power he has and the responsibility he must take on. Unreal scene. #ManOfSteel #manofsteelwatchparty #ReleaseTheSnyderCut," a tweet read. "The first Flight scene is a pure experience in itself. You can see the pure joy on Superman's face at being able to fly. It's pure euphoria for him. ," another said.

"The “first flight” will forever be my favorite DCEU moment. It’s gonna be hard to top this epicness. #manofsteelwatchparty #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague," a fan opined. You can watch the scene here:

Here's one to end with: "Glad to hear you liked it. The first time I watched it, I cried during the First Flight sequence; I never thought I'd see that moment in live-action. And the speech by Jor-El was just epic and poetic. #ManOfSteel #manofsteelwatchparty"
