"Underwhelming" is a bit too formal for 不给力, I think. "Sweet/lame" is about the right register.

"lame" seems good to me.
Added "unimpressive" to specify the particular sense of "lame" used here.
Diff:
- 不給力 不给力 [bu4 gei3 li4] /utterly disappointing/huge letdown/to not try at all/
+ 不給力 不给力 [bu4 gei3 li4] /lame (unimpressive)/not to try at all/
