Actually, I don't know if it was intended to be a trilogy but it was definitely intended to go beyond the first film - the movie studio didn't want to make a definite cliffhanger or promise a sequel if the movie bombed since they invested a shitload of cash into the SFX alone.
As for Revolutions, I thought it was excellent. Sure, there are some unanswered questions, but very few. Overall I think it summed up the series well - and it did it in a way I pretty much figured it would. I was a little confused myself, not by what I saw but how certain things fit but after reading others thoughts and seeing how I thought and felt similar - and also be going back over the prior 2 films, it all made perfect sense. This is one of those rare movies that makes you get a sense of everything, and not whats presented to you in the middle of the screen.
Watching the Animatrix and the ingame movie footage was very helpful also.
Overall, i think conceptually this is one of the better sci-fi stories to come out in a long time - it was just a little flashy with SFX, but it still worked for me.
