I would agree that "get" is a much more natural way of speaking than "make" in these cases. For one thing, "make" is just unnecessary. I would only use "make" in cases where the focus is on the cause of the feeling or action, like the standard "My mum always made me tidy my room when I was a kid", but in situations where a normal adjective would suffice it would sound ludicrous if you said something like, "The day makes me feel that it is beautiful," instead of "It's a beautiful day".
Secondly, there is a different nuance between get and make, and a simple adjective. Using an adjective is referring to the general properties of the thing, not what heappens to you on each occasion you experience it. What I mean is, you would usually describe Star Wars as an exciting film, but to describe yourself as getting exctied when you watched Star Wars would be a very strange thing for anyone to say in my opinion, apart from for children. To get excited describes quite a childlike reaction, jumping up and down or laughing and screaming while watching the film, which to me would be quite strange behaviour. If you were describing the end of a horse race for example, it would make more sense, where you could genuinely be jumping up and down and getting excited. To describe yourself as getting excited watching the news, playing soccer or watching a player play is just odd in my opinion. I wouldn't even describe those activities as "exciting", it's just not what they are, unless there's a really frantic end to a match.
