I don't agree that the self-parody element (certainly present in Octopussy)
is a bad development.  In fact, I think I enjoy Bond movies much more now,
when there is no pretence of seriousness and *all* the sequences are
outrageously unbelievable, than before.  A bit of self-parody (indeed most
self-reference) adds spice and interest.
All in all I liked the movie quite a bit.
