I saw raw copy of the film yesterday.

The comparison being made by everyone is basically based on Jubi Madara.

Toneri is as strong as Pain and Rinnegan Madara (WITHOUT TEN TAILS) Toneri was about to use Shinra Tensei and Basho Tennin (possibly all the 6 paths technique) and create chakra orbs to control people like the chakra rods used for the 6 paths of pain technique.

Being a descendant of Hamura, Toneri's chakra possesses special qualities that can counter those of Hagoromo, basically using the orbs he can absorb Hagoromo's chakra and detect it within someone.

Over using the eyes lead to him awakening the chakra mode of Tenseigan and the Truth Sphere giving him comparable powers to Naruto and Madara.

Madara was only over powered because he had the benefit of an undying body otherwise the Gokage could have defeated him as well as Naruto in his Tail Beast Mode. Even Guy would have defeat Madara but the Ten Tails regenerative powers were too great.

Toneri's Chakra mode is likely the same as Six Path Sage mode, Naruto's Kurama Sage Mode was more than enough to deal with Toneri because lacks the large chakra reserve from Ten Tails and the benefits of Edo Tensei and EMS that Madara possess. Either way Toneri is as strong as Madara and Nagato. Though bare in mind if it had been in terms of Manga and not a movie... we would have had 20~40 chapters just building on more of his abilities and powers to make him over powered...
