I think the best way to watch this is the way I did: While doing something else. I was wrapping Christmas presents while it played. It’s endlessly silly but fun. Since I felt no time pressure, I didn’t bother with the remote, so its FF score might be artificially low.

I agree. I saw Sahara in a theater. I enjoyed Sahara too. Good action! Thrilling adventure! Guns! Bombs! Rocket launch! Old cannon! That's what I call "true action movie". I felt time passed fast. Of course I bought DVD.
But if Penelope Cruz were not in it, perhaps I enjoyed it more. Her acting was bad.
I wrote this back in April, when I saw "Sahara" in the theater. I saw it again on DVD several weeks ago. I felt the same. 
"I just saw "Sahara" and enjoyed it. Not the greatest action movie, but it had lots of non stop action and, OMG, the MOST incredible body on a male actor that I have ever seen. Thank you Matthew McConaughey! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you....oh my!"

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

I gather that this Sahara is not the one starring Humphrey Bogart and Dan Duryea . . . ?

Maybe I need to give Sahara another shot. I ordered it from movies on demand in the hotel during my eight day Katrina exile in Houston, and I didn't even find it mildly entertaining. But I realize now that I might not have been in the best frame of mind for movie watching. 
How many vikings does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The light from the burning monastery is more than sufficient.
May the Norse be with you.

Definitely NOT worth a second try.

I saw it again only because I was visiting friends who were watching for the first time. I wouldn't rent it again.
If you've seen it and didn't care for it, don't bother spending any more money on it. Wait till it gets to HBO or another TV/cable channel and see if it hits you any better.
Mathew's bod is always worth a visit, IMO.
