Get Out is solid and a creative example of turning a relateable real-world uncomfortable situation into supernatural horror. Its story is simple, which is a virtue (especially for a first movie), but imho that means it got too easily turned into just a commentary on "race relations."
Nope, on the other hand, has a lot going on, including about family, media, human care of animals, the dying vs the idealized west, and struggling with grief. It stands up to multiple watches. It's grim, scary, realistic yet absurd, and sometimes just really funny.
So it's not that Get Out is bad, it's just that Nope is so much better, an example of Jordan Peele growing as a writer/director.
A solid answer.
