well, from my super educated opinion it just looks bland and that probably has more to do with the lighting then whatever you did in Magic Bullet. Just my two cents though...

you should use the histogram the make sure you aren't blowing out your whites; ie get detail in the snow

It honestly doesn't even look like you did anything. Maybe upload a video with before and after then we can critique it.

I'm going to have to agree, it is flat. It looks very similar the flat cinestyle setting or whatever it is that was really popular for a while, but a little more moderate. seeing the original would be helpful, as well as knowing what you applied in mbl

Looks flat, but not bad. Better than most of the other stuff you see with MB looks (way overdone with 100000% contrast). But yeah the lighting in the shot looks flat, and it doesn't look like you did anything other than a minor correction. But not bad. Just depends waht you're going for
