as in, in the comics, it was impossible to root for ironman's side, he was just a gigantic asshole, but here, with RDJ's charm I think he might actually seem like a good choice or something

Yeah, I think involving bucky as a major plot point helps as well.
I've never liked the civil war comic. You have to have certain suspension of disbelief when reading comics, as there are plenty of plot holes. The biggest of which is that thengovernment would just let thousands of super powered vigilantes run amok.
As readers we're able to ignore itand enjoy the comic, but when it is the focal point of the story, you can't ignore it, and it shatters any suspension of disbelief you had.
Marvel's tagline was "pick a side", but superhero registration is such a realistic, and logical choice, that tney had to write a bunch of pro reg people completely out of character, almost to the point of being villains, for anyone to pick cap's side.
That's why involving bucky is a brilliant stroke. Because now it can genuinely pull the audience in two directions. While the registration act may be a good idea, you may not be too keen on it if they were imprisoning a friend who was only a victim. The whole thing makes it much easier to empathize with cap's viewpoint.
