So, it's pretty much consensus that the Matrix Sequels (at least Revolutions) were complete garbage. What would need to happen for them to be good? The Wachowski's explained their intent with the sequels:

What we were trying to achieve with the story overall was a shift, the same kind of shift that happens for Neo, that Neo goes from being in this sort of cocooned and programmed world, to having to participate in the construction of meaning to his life. And we were like, ‘Well, can the audience go through the three movies and experience something similar to what the main character experiences?’

So the first movie is sort of classical in its approach, the second movie is deconstructionist and an assault on all the things you thought to be true in the first movie … and the third movie is the most ambiguous, because it asks you to actually participate in the construction of meaning.

So how can they make this work with the general consensus being TTL Matrix sequels were good?
