I don't know if the sequels could have wound up any better than they turned out.
Mostly because it increasingly looks like the Wachowskis caught lightning in a bottle with the Matrix and haven't been able to duplicate that success. The second Matrix movie did make a ton of money but since then their results financially have steadily gone downhill. The critics haven't been kind either.
They had one good movie in them it looks like.

They had one great idea and it happened before they were established and had much creative control.
When they got creative control, things turned into bloated, incoherent messes. It's sort of like Lucas and the prequels, it's good to have some check on an idea man.
I also think the 2nd and 3rd Matrix could have benefitted a lot from aggressive editing. A lot of those movies are jumps between philosophical soliloquy and action. If they chopped the dialogue and kept it action focused, they would have been much more entertaining.
