Well, that scene certanly made Isildur look like villain, and that was not so. He was victime of his ignorance (he couldn't have known the Ring's nature, and I belive he looked at it as a trophy, a reward, a compensation). He was great man and king, and this event was very unfortunate.
Isildur and Elrond were cousins, after all; it would be more than murder if Elrond slew Isildur.
