Slumdog Millionaire is too violent?

I was talking to a few guild members the other day, and apparently the screenings aren't going to hot.
They say elderly viewers are fleeing in packs, citing it is as the most violent film they have been privy to in a long time.

I think that's a bit of an overreaction, but some people don't like violence.

Okay.

So the question is, what problems will this cause when it comes down to voting?

It's no mystery that there are many Academy voters of the same ilk as the people I talked too. If that's really the case, not boding too well. The Envelope says that Slumdog Millionaire is the talk of the town, and likely to be a huge success.

Clearly, this is conflicting data. Great or too violent?

Personally, I think the film will do quite well during the awards and at the box office. It's got enough mainstream appeal and buzz behind it to get a fairly wide audience. However, it doesn't seem to be going on track to explode as big as Juno.
