A: "Less than brilliant" is calling someone/something stupid, without outright saying that they're stupid. (You can use this format in other ways too. "Well, that was less than ideal," is a very mild polite way of saying, "Well, fuck, that did not work at all.")

"Less brilliant" can be used as a comparison. ("I'm less brilliant than she is.") It sounds awkward, though. ("I'm not as smart as she is" would sound more natural.)

Fabulous is usually used more passionately like, 'Fabulous outfit!'. Remarkable would be used when something is not only great but also surprising, "Wow, it worked? Remarkable!". Marvellous isn't used that often, people usually use it to congratulate someone like "Marvellous work on that painting!" (I'm from Australia, but I'm sure these are the same as what is used in the U.K.)

A: Wow, someone's smart!

smart: getting an A on a test

brilliant: someone that solves problems by thinking outside what's normal, is far better at something than most people, or an inventor.

A: @Ri-na: Brilliant: Excellent, clever, marvellous
Sagacious: Wise, shrewd, showing good mental judgement

It's worth noting that I have never heard anybody use the word sagacious before, it is best reserved for formal writings, whereas "Brilliant!" can easily be an informal exclamation.
