The Movie Critic would have been somewhat of a meta, crossover kind of film that would have placed Tarantino's films within the 70s, as if they had been made then, allowing the director to bring back some of the big names he's worked with over the years to reprise their characters in 'movie within a movie' moments.
Tarantino had originally said that The Movie Critic was 'based on a guy who really lived but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag,' so it sounds like he's been workshopping all sorts for his final outing.
Another idea for The Movie Critic was that the film might feature a movie theatre where certain characters might interact with a 'budding future auteur,' with a 16-year-old Tarantino being touted as an example.
There's still no real confirmation as to why he's abandoning the project, but sources did also say that it mostly seemed like he had just become more excited by other ideas. Whatever it ends up being, I'm sure it'll feature some feet.
