Octopussy is quite high on most peoples lists. I thought it was the worst of Moore’s Bonds. It had a few good moments, but the fight-out at the castle at the end with all those “belly-dancers” was too much I thought. It was like a scene from the 1967 spoof Casino Royale.

Like a number of moments in Octopussy, it's a scene punctuated by odd gags (like Q getting groped by the girls for saving them) but I rather like it altogether.

Moore is arguably on better form in LALD, as is the production, but the story of TMWTGG is arguably more interesting/original.

I don't think Moore stared in any bad Bond films: all of his films are very enjoyable romps, especially if you don't take them too seriously. Unfortunately, he happened to star in the films during the era, particularly during the 70s, when the writers/producers/directors didn't know what direction to take the series in (ie, they tried to avoid another commercial disaster / unpopular film like OHMSS that was close to Fleming's novels) and ended up copying the then-current film trends, which led to a few poor choices (the slide whistle, the double taking pigeon, etc) which might have been comical at the time, but were cheap laughs that dated the films more than anything.
