Fans react to Alan Ritchon’s War Machine 2 announcements

Netflix is officially moving forward with War Machine 2, with Deadline reporting that director Patrick Hughes will return to direct and co-write the sequel alongside James Beaufort. The announcement follows the release of the first film earlier this year and has prompted mixed reactions from commenters online.

Several fans of the first film with Alan Ritchson welcomed the news and expressed enthusiasm for another chapter on X (formerly Twitter). One user wrote, “Good, one of the best things neflix has produced in years. Super based.” Another commenter added that “we should get at least 3 movies.” A third posted, “Pretty decent movie with great CGI and FX. Would like to see Pt.2.” Another added, “We’ve been waiting for this one lads.”

At the same time, the announcement drew criticism from other commenters. One user wrote, “Ah yes, exactly what the world was begging for: a sequel to a generic gray-filtered military movie that everyone completely forgot existed until this tweet dropped. Netflix will literally greenlight a sequel for anything with a high view count.” Another commented, “i hate netflix bro this movie was so f***ing mid.”

Additional criticism came from viewers who were dissatisfied with the first film. One post read, “That will be torture if it’s anything resembling the original, which was juvenile at best.” Another user wrote, “Of all the shows that get cancelled on Netflix… and THIS gets a sequel??? This movie was terrible, sorry.”
