No I don't really like much of the Simm performance but that isn't because of the actor himself, who is a proven talent, but more the way he is written....

There are some amazing scenes with Simm (the Gasmask scene for example) but they would probably worked better if the character was a bit more cold and less like a sixties Batman television villain.

 I can see that. Like you said, he can be a bit riddle me this.. at times.  However, I like a few moments a lot and think they were expertly done.  To me, his finest hour is the landfill scene from End Of Time.  Great stuff from Simm and Tennant in that scene.  They morph into a grittier world than we usually get to see.
