12 Things You Learn Rewatching GoldenEye

5. Natalya Simonova Is A Total Bore

Now, we might be a bit biased here because she's easily the worst part of the (otherwise brilliant) N64 game based on this movie, but Natalya Simonova sure is a bore of a Bond girl, huh?

Uninteresting at best and mildly irritating at worst, Simonova is neither well-acted or personable enough to be memorable nor grating enough to be legitimately terrible.

Calling her middle-of-the-road might give her a tad too much credit, but she is at least fairly resourceful and doesn't just let Bond walk all over her. She still eventually goes to bed with 007 and her screeching is pretty annoying, though, ensuring she never really rises above mediocrity.
