Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times:

The movie [Cowboys & Aliens] will no doubt be popular and deserves success. As preposterous moneymakers go, it's ambitious and well-made. The acting from the large cast is of a high standard, Craig and Ford were more or less born into their roles, and director Jon Favreau actually develops his characters and gives them things to do, instead of posing them in front of special effects.

Nice to see the enthusiasm from the Tribune review you linked--wow, a critic that actually loves movies. :)

An excerpt:

And yet "Cowboys & Aliens," in which Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford take on creatures from another genre, turns out to be the unlikeliest good movie of the year. The component genre parts coexist, excitingly, without veering into camp or facetious desperation. Alien-invasion aficionados should be pleased. Western nostalgists may be pleasantly surprised. Fans of cowboys-versus-aliens movies, well, it's been a long wait and here's your movie.
