To me it seems as if violence (unless totally gratuitous and
gruesome, horror movie-style) doesn't bring the rating to an R.

That seems to be reserved mostly for sexual content.

I've been amazed at some R rated movies, wondering what
justified the R, and then seeing a movie loaded with
violence getting only a PG or PG-13.
