Naruto = Sasuke. The movie is not required to prove it or otherwise. This equation forms the basis of this manga. It's a fact, the movie can't and won't prove it otherwise. But that's overall.

Periodically. Most of the time Sasuke was the stronger one physically, and Naruto was the one to catch up. That's how Kishi designed their rivalry to be. But now they're equal overall, which is again what Kishi planned about their rivalry. That "overall" constitutes a lot of aspects. Strength, firepower, jutsus, skills, versatility, utilization, willpower, cooperation. They're equal in strength, firepower and jutsus. Sasuke is superior in versatility, skills and utilization. Naruto is superior in willpower and cooperation. Overall, that makes them equal, as of now. And they'll remain equal because that's how it's supposed to be.
