breasts get you a 15 rating, full frontal is an 18. BDSM scenes, laughable or not are 'of a sexual nature' Also, the themes of the film - questioning the objectification of women, the creation of images of a woman in a sexual setting etc. would raise the rating.

The violence withing LotR, much like that in Spiderman (the first film to gain the 12a rating) is detracted from reality, contained within a fantasy or comic-book environment unlike that of say Terminator, where although the nature of the film could be considered 'fantasy' from the point of view of it being a sci-fi film with impossible characters and events, the violence that occurs is very much based in the real world.

You may disagree with rating system, and in fact I think everyone has some examples of things they think are mis-rated, but there has to be a system in place to discern between thousands of films each year and it is far better than the alternatives.
