Yes, at least... [In reply to] Can't Post

it doesn't count as "real" blood, just fantasy blood, so it doesn't spike the gore meter as much.

A rating generally comes with a short listing of reasons which indicates what sort of issues merited the rating. For instance, ROTK was rated PG-13 for "intense epic battle scenes and frightening images", while other types of movies might get the same rating for swearing, "adult themes", drug/alcohol references, etc. It also depends on quantity: The King's Speech got its R rating purely on the repetition of swear words. It's an odd system in many ways.
