I don't think it's that odd that you've found it underwhelming, considering that you have been hyped about it. Part of the brutality of the Red Wedding is just how unexpected it feels, both in the book and the show, as surely they're not about to kill off several principal characters all at once, but then they did. Same goes for the rest of the show. People go on and on about how gritty it is and how everyone can die at any time, so you're really just expecting it to happen.

I personally find the Red Wedding worse in the book though, even knowing what's coming, as the reader sees it from Cat's POV. Also, the show has some added shock value things that feel a bit cheap (Talisa and the baby).
