Well, I guess one example is that he didn't realize that the Thane of Cawdor was going to turn against him (this is also foreshadowing, because the next Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth, will also turn against him).

Did duncan fit shakespeares role of a good king?

Not really. Duncan was a good and saintly man, but was poorly equipped to run a country. In particular he is a poor judge of character: as he himself says "There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face." He is completely wrong about the Thane of Cawdor, and has no inkling of what is going on in Macbeth or Lady Macbeth's minds. He chooses the feckless Malcolm as his successor, just because he is his son. Henry V better fits the ideal of a king. He spots conspirers against his throne and without difficulty foils them.

What did the critics say about 'Macbeth'?

Critics believe that the character of Banquo was initially a murderer, however, that identity was scrapped for one of a nobleman. However, Banquo was believed to be an ancestor of James I, so his character was changed to avoid trouble with the king. The place of Duncan's death was also changed from him being set upon and killed on the road, to death coming when he visited Macbeth's castle. King Duncan's character was changed from an inept king, whose job Macbeth already had to do, to the more benevolent Duncan, who was considered an apt king.
