No; a single nerve cell on its own isn't very impressive.
What makes nerve cells so amazing, is what happens when they're in groups and networks.
It's the combined effort of billions and billions of such cells, that produces all the things our nervous systems do.
PS: This isn't unlike transistors. A single transistor isn't too impressive... but put millions of transistors in a circuit, and you have a modern PC's CPU.

I wouldn't say any cell is smarter than any other cell. Cells have a very specific job(except for stem cells that have not yet been assigned a job/differentiated) and do them very effectively and efficiently. So no nerve cells are no smarter than any other cell.

cells have no intelligence, just different functions
