I haven't seen it yet, but I plan to when it comes out.

And, I think the violence and gore, while not "gratituitous" (hey, those were violent times), I think it's not for the faint of heart.
I don't think it's suitable for the kiddies under age 13. While I haven't seen the movie yet, I think what makes it quite difficult to watch is that there is a lot of suffering (whereas in super-violent movies like "The Last Samurai" and "Gladiator", the movies are violent, but at least the people died quickly, if not instantly.)

I saw ROOTS when I was about 7 and the scene where Kunta Kinte is kidnapped by slave traders was very distressing to me to watch. When I saw it again, as an adult, it was quite distressing too.

So yes, I think you should be mentally prepared that it will be quite a violent movie. I know that I am.
