Was there a reason Elrond didn't force the ring from Isildur?

I know the real answer is if he did that that there'd be no movie, so save your breath if that's your answer. But was there ever an in movie explanation? Elrond knew how dangerous the ring was. He knew how it needed to be destroyed to kill Sauron forever. When Isildur refused to destroy it, why not attack him and take the ring and throw it in himself? Or even kill Isildur if it came to that? Throw Isildur in with the ring. Did he underestimate how powerful Sauron was and how he could return in the future? Did he not realize just how powerful the ring was until much later?

The problem is that Isildur was the King of all Men.
Throwing Isildur off the cliff would cause a massive and probably almost eternal battle between Men and Elves. Men and Elves have always been suspicious from each side and they finally got peace and agreements between both sides to fight Mordor and Sauron.
So throwing off Isildur would be an unacceptable possibility. And from what I remember Elrond didn't fully knew the real power of the Ring. Remember that even Gandalf wasn't totally sure about its power in the beginning.
