At the end they had a quiz on a chosen handful of inaccuracies, and everyone who got them all right had their names put in a hat. I was one of the three who won a (blatantly bootleg) copy of the movie.
That's magnificent.
Part of me would like to see it again, to try to focus more on things like Evie's awesomeness and the gleeful pulp -- a lot of people I know imprinted very much on Evie the defiantly adventurous librarian! But it's entirely possible that I would get caught up on the sputtering once again.
I'm not judging. I watched Troy (2004) exactly once just so I knew how bad the popular reception of the Iliad was about to get and I've never been able to do it again.
(Though the racism sounds like an entirely unnecessary kick in the teeth, ugh.)
It is the one part of the movie I would just delete. Everything else, if you can accept that the film's Egypt is not really the historical one, worked for me.
