They are obviously comparable because of the fight sequences and because of the similarity in themes. The Matrix was mind-blowing, as is usually the case when someone actually has the balls to express a fresh idea or take on things in film.

Equilibrium was also a great film. The fight scenes are even better than in the Matrix, as they just appear to be more "real". The only difference is that you know what's happening the whole time, while the Matrix leaves you in the dark for most of the time.

As for "Reloaded", what a complete dissapointment. Fight scene after meaningless fight scene. The movie cannot hold a candle on it's own, without the other films. All successfull trilogies have been built from three independent, self-contained stories that don't have to be part of a trilogy to be great. Reloaded was a convoluted mess.
