Are early screenings first come first serve?

It is both. Early screenings are free so they are able to give out about 2-3 times as many "tickets" to ensure that they end up with a full house.
But I would've still needed to have signed up for that thing right (which I can no longer do)?
Why are you in the review thread if you're scared to click on a link that's labeled a review?
That's because the movie is well-received so far & we don't have much else to discuss until the next waves of reviews drop tomorrow.

Correct. Once you have the ticket it's no guarantee of a spot

I have no problem reading review. I'm just a bit more wary toward negative review, because I've seen a couple negative review toward other movie or games where the reviewer really didn't care for the movie/game that they openly mention spoilers without warning. While at least for positive reviews, I find it that the reviewer usually like the movie enough that they don't want to ruin it for other people and take extra care not to mention potential spoilers.
I usually hold off reading negative review until I've seen the movie myself
I think we'll get another batch tomorrow or at least by the weekend

When we are done with our Thor 2 discussion, dammit!
I think it'll definitely stay above 90%

Thor 2 was bad. Gimme Iron Man 3 any day!

I hated Thor 1 so much I had such low hopes for Thor 2 that I came out pleasantly surprised. Worst series in the MCU of course but I can't say I don't like the second one. Only seen it once, though. Probably won't watch it again until Ragnarok
Iron Man 3 is great

Thor 2 is a masterpiece, BvS is our generations Citizen Kane, IM3......who?

I guess the part of the fan base that hates Iron Man 3 along with the part that liked Iron Man 3 counteracts to reach the mediocrity levels found in Thor 2. Personally I'm on the team that though Iron Man 3 was great.

I am in the small camp that actually really enjoyed Thor 2. It is a fun remake of Krull, even if the original is better.

I'd say the vast majority of the reviews are judging the movie absolutely on its own merits with some references to BvS because movies don't exist in a vacuum. The action, character development, and all that is the same whether or not BvS existed or not.
Of course, when the second major superhero movie of 2016 releases mere weeks ago, it would seem silly to expect reviews to not mention it in some shape or form. (ie. Mad Max Fury Road reviews mentioning Furious 7, which had released the month before, since they're both vehicular action movies but with different approaches)

And many reviews seem to be pointing out a key difference that the fight between the heroes here seems earned since we have had so long to get used to the characters and their relationships that it doesn't feel forced.

I always remain cautious whenever a movie gets near universal praise... i tend to end up sorely disappointed by them...

Iron Man
TWS
Iron Man 3
Good:
Captain America
GotG
Meh:
Antman
Avengers/AoU
Thor/Incredible Hulk
Crap:
Thor 2

San Fran. 4:30 would've been apt in Houston when I lived there but there's more people at these SF ones.

The Marvel paychecks are flowing like and endless river of Milk and Honey!
Ah, cool.
Going to the one in Orlando, hopefully that one doesn't have a crazy long line.
I'm hoping to get there at around 4:30-5:00-ish.

Personally I view the original Thor as on the high tier of Mediocre marvel films while Thor 2 is at the bottom with Iron Man 2, personally don't think any of the Marvel films are bad or at the very least none are as much of a catastrophe as some of their competitors superhero films can be.
Technically speaking we've already gotten 2 Amazing Spider-Man movies
But they werent amazing

Isn't it just a meme? Or are there people out there that actually believe it?

While Thor 2 is one of my least favorite MCU movies (TIH is my least favorite), I still like it a lot. The whole scene of them trying to escape Asgard felt very reminiscent of Star Wars. I also felt the Earth scenes were fun (in a quirky way). Also, the battle near the beginning felt like a cross between Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
While I'm not sure in this case, I think there are people who genuinely believe that type of stuff. They need to rationalize (irrationally) why their favorite thing is panned by critics, are that the thing they hate is praised by critics.
