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.

Truer words were never spoken. You see it in every artistic endeavor.
No matter how skilled the creator they are going to make mistakes and not catch them. The book that should toss out the meaningless subplot and trim about 100 pages. The movie that should have been edited with a hacksaw to trim it down to something watchable (the first cut of Young Frankenstein was a "disaster" in the words of Mel Brooks and it took some serious editing to make it the all time classic it is now). You need a hatchet man to catch these things.
