It wasn't a bad film, but a lot of it depended on people being ridiculous.

First, the whole Sokovia Accords thing. Yes, people died during the Avengers' fights with some of the enemies, some of which might have been unintentionally caused by the Avengers themselves. Yet if they weren't there, more people would have died, and there would have been more destruction.

Especially New York, no one has any right accusing them for damage and deaths caused there because the World Security Council was going to blow up New York and everyone in it with a nuclear bomb. And Iron Man saved what was left of New York by sending the warhead through the portal to blow up the Chitauri mothership. The Avengers aren't perfect but they are the best chance at minimizing civilian casualties.

Second, Iron Man seeking revenge on Bucky for killing his parents, even though Bucky was brainwashed by Hydra just like Selvig and Hawkeye were brainwashed by Loki, and therefore he can't be blamed for anything he did or anyone he killed as the Winter Soldier. That could just as easily have been Iron Man brainwashed as the Winter Soldier, provided Hydra could capture him.
