No it's not if it's based on someone elses intellectual property. There is a very clear distinction between criticism/review and fiction.
Certainly an original story(or other work of art) can be written as a reaction to another work of art. I've seen this a lot in the poetry world and often in the fiction world, but when it is not original work (i.e. using someone elses intellectual property) then not only is it not crit/review, it is not even original (whether done with permission of the copyright owner or not).
