Do you think he should've been given absolute power as king of Rome? Why or why not?

No, Cincinnatus was called by the Senate to defeat the Aequians and the Volscians -- it actually took him two weeks before he resigned the dictatorship. Caesar's invasion of Rome was somewhat bad -- it hastened the decline of the Republic and the beginning of Imperial Dictatorial Rome... but the fact is that the Senate was so corrupt that it would have eventually collapsed in another generation or two anyway.
