I would not go that far as to call it undemocratic. Sure there are some deficiencies and the democratic legitimation of some political organs is clearly a bit too indirect but as you said that can be reformed (it actually had improved already over the years). The biggest problem is that the public generally does not care much about EU law making despite the importance of the decisions made there. Only if something bad pops up the finger is pointed at the "evil EU" afterwards, ironically often by the same government which pushed that "bad" legislation forward in the first place.
